NACOC, partners hold second national dialogue on drug policy reforms

The Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC), in collaboration with the International Drug Policy Consortium (IDPC), WAPCAS Plus, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), and other local and international partners, has concluded the Second National Dialogue on Drug Policy, Human Rights and Public Health.

The dialogue provided a platform for stakeholders to assess Ghana's progress in implementing modern, evidence-based drug policies while exploring strategies to strengthen public health, protect human rights, improve public safety, and promote sustainable national development.

NACOC said the dialogue reinforces its commitment to leading national efforts to implement comprehensive, evidence-based drug policies that protect society, support recovery, uphold human dignity, and contribute to Ghana's sustainable development.
