Barbados
We support Barbados in the implementation of its National Drug Plan.
This assistance has been channelled through three regional initiatives on demand reduction and the fight against drug trafficking.
How do we support the country?
Drug demand reduction

Strengthening of police and prosecutorial investigation systems

Fight against drug trafficking and organised crime
