Zimbabwe to draw lessons from Ghana’s strategies in combating drug abuse

The Director-General acknowledged that inadequate logistics remain a major challenge for drug law enforcement agencies across Africa but said Ghana had made significant progress through sustained government support and institutional reforms.

Responding to the delegation, Director-General of NACOC, Major General Maxwell Obuba Mantey, thanked the Government of Zimbabwe for choosing Ghana as one of the countries to benchmark its emerging anti-drug institution.

Major General Mantey stressed that an effective national drug control strategy must combine strong law enforcement with sustained public education, prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation programmes.
