ENCOD
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The European NGO Council on Drugs (ENCOD) is a network of European non-governmental organisations and citizens concerned with the impact of current international drug policies on the lives of the most affected sectors in North and South. Since 1994 they have been working to advocate more just and effective drugs control policies, which include an integrated solution for all problems related to the global drugs phenomenon.
ENCOD has three primary objectives:
- To improve understanding of the causes and effects of the drugs trade;
- To contribute to the elaboration of just and effective drugs control policies;
- To bring about greater consistency between drugs control efforts and economic and social policies.
ENCOD is implementing these objectives in three ways:
- it facilitates coordination, information exchange and joint analysis between its members;
- it carries out joint information campaigns, aimed at the general public;
- it carries out joint advocacy activities, aimed at policy-makers and the media.
