Mission & Goals
The Mission of the Drug Policy Network South East Europe is adoption of more humane and effective drug policies in SEE. The Drug Policy Network South East Europe aims to promote objective and open debate on the effectiveness, direction and content of the national, regional and international drug policy and to advance constructive recommendations for policy makers. The Vision of the DPNSEE is that: • National and international drug policies and programmes are grounded in the principles of human rights, social inclusion and public health • Policy making processes should be transparent and policy makers should engage meaningfully with civil society, particularly with key affected populations (such as people who use drugs, parents and NGO initiatives). The Network organisations are primarily providers of preventive, therapeutic, harm reduction and rehabilitation services, focused on supporting drug users and connected key affected populations.
