Principle of Drug Policy

To build safe and healthy communities by minimizing drug‐related health, social and economic harm.      

Outline a comprehensive approach to the issues of both illegal and legal drugs based upon long‐term and comprehensive planning. 

Built upon realistic decision making which uses evidence to guide the response, and encourages and promotes regular evaluation of its effectiveness 

Promote a whole‐of‐society approach starting with the individual and families, communities and community groups, civil society organizations and government at the local, regional and national level.

Approaches to achieve the Priority of the

Policy

Page 11: National Drug Control Policy Developmentfileserver.idpc.net/misc/policy.pdf · 2018. 3. 13. · Principle of Drug Policy To build safe and healthy communities by minimizing drug‐

• Reduce the supply and agricultural based and chemical based production of drugs by reducing domestic growth and manufacturing of drugs; reducing levels of illicit poppy cultivation; and promoting alternative sustainable sources of livelihoods.  

• Reduce the availability of drugs in the community by promoting community policing and increasing community involvement and participation.
