The Bahamas
We support The Bahamas in the implementation of its National Anti-Drug Plan.
This accompaniment has focused on demand reduction policies through the community treatment approach in vulnerable territories.
How do we support the country?
Community treatment in vulnerable territories
1 pilot initiative to strengthen care for the Haitian migrant population, which is particularly vulnerable to drug use, micro-trafficking and human trafficking. Implemented in partnership with local governments and civil society on the Abaco islands and in the Fox Hill community.
Drug demand reduction
- 1 social innovation laboratory aimed at prevention and harm reduction to improve the response to drug use and prevention in minors under the care of the State.
- 2 study visits to learn about models of care for problematic drug use in community treatment facilities in Uruguay and Colombia. The visits have served to design a pilot project in Valparaíso aimed at creating a community work department in the territory that can be articulated with existing prevention and treatment programmes.
Fight against drug trafficking and organised crime
- 1 study to improve the registration of final beneficiaries of money laundering, which are being hidden through legal or financial structures to give the appearance of legitimacy to these assets.
- Updating the Financial Investigations Guide, including the systematisation of good practices for information exchange, since in many cases the financial networks of drug trafficking are not limited to one country.
