Во Всемирном докладе о наркотиках содержится комплексная информация по положению в области незаконных наркотиков. В нем представлены подробные оценки и тенденци..., относящиеся к производству, незаконному обороту и потреблению на рынках опиума/героина, коки/кокаина, каннабиса и стимуляторов амфетаминового ряда. Масштабы проблемы наркотиков удается ограничивать, но существуют признаки того, что стабилизация, достигнутая за последние несколько лет, может подвергаться риску. Среди этих признаков – расширение культивирования в 2007 году опийного мака и коки, некоторый прирост потребления в развивающихся странах и в определенной степени развитие новых схем незаконного оборота. Также отмечалось обнадеживающее сокращение некоторых из основных потребительских рынков.

• Encourage engagement and collaboration across sectors;
• Facilitate the exchange of experiences and lessons learned;
• Promote regional and global collaboration on HiAP; and
• Promote dissemination of skills to develop training courses for trainers.
