EMCDDA-ENP phase 1 (January 2014–June 2016)

The EMCDDA project targets 7 European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) partner countries. These are: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Israel, Moldova, Morocco and Ukraine.

Timetable: January 2014–June 2016

Objective: The overall objective of the EMCDDA-ENPI project is to strengthen the capacity of ENP Partner countries to react to new challenges and developments of the drugs situation.

In order to achieve this, the project has defined a set of measurable and specific objectives:

• to support the partner countries to produce new information on their drugs situation;
• to develop the capacity for monitoring;
• to strengthen the reporting and dissemination of information.

Expected results are:

• a better knowledge of recent and emerging trends in drug use in the partner ENP countries among young people;
• the Early Warning System covers the new ENP partner countries for its ALERT component, which makes it more comprehensive and more accurate and enables effective exchange of information between EU member states and ENP countries;
• increased capacity for data collection, analysis and interpretation in the ENP countries, as a result of the knowledge transfer facilitated by the project;
• decision-makers at national and EU level are better informed on the drugs situation and on the need for interventions;
• ENP partners and other Reitox members have a better knowledge and understanding of the drugs situation and of the role of drug monitoring.

Activities per year may be found below. 

In addition to the activities listed above, the project supported the implementation of European School Survey Project on Alcohol and other drugs (ESPAD) studies in Armenia, Georgia, Ukraine and Moldova in the course of 2015
