Suriname
We support Suriname in the implementation of the Drug Abuse Prevention Act No. 22.
This support has been focused on strengthening the National Drug Observatory.
How do we support the country?
Strengthening of the National Drug Observatory
- Support to the National Drug Observatory (NDO), the National Anti-Drug Council (NAR) and the Ministry of Public Health in establishing the national drug research network, as well as in the approval of the 2025–2028 National Drug Agenda.
- Coordination of the Scientific Committee on Drugs to advise the National Drug Observatory of the Dominican Republic.
- Support to the National Anti-Drug Council in incorporating the gender approach into a research questionnaire on drug use among the LGTBIQ+ population.
Drug demand reduction
Development of a technical training guide for prison staff to reinforce social inclusion plans and community support for the former inmate population.
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.
