Multidimensional responses to drug issues in Africa

Multidimensional responses to drug issues in Africa

This event, organized as part of the Drugs & Development Hub, will discuss the multidimensional responses to drug issues in Africa.

The African continent continues it long history with drug cultivation, production, consumption and trade. The complexity and diversity of the drug issue in Africa mirrors the broad complexity of the continent itself. Africa has always been well known for cannabis across the continent and to a lesser degree for Khat in the eastern part and the horn of the continent. Further, Africa has a long standing history of heroin transiting from southern Asia through eastern Africa to Europe. (Global Initiative against Transnational Organized Crime, Schweiz, 15.02.2022)
