The Drug Control and Enforcement Authority (DCEA) is a government institution under the Prime Minister's Office. This office coordinates all strategies to control drugs, drug abuse and drug trafficking. The DCEA collaborations with other stakeholders, including NGOs, one of which is the Youth Counselling and Rehabilitation Center.
The YCRC provides psychosocial and technical support for vulnerable youth. This support includes providing education about the problem of drugs through district leadership, teachers and peer educators.
The effect of drugs on the nation's future drives the government to take action to combat them. These efforts include preventing the use and production of drugs, educating the public about the dangers of drug use and trafficking, treating drug addicts, and improving collaboration with stakeholders on this all-encompassing issue. Stakeholders have been taking part in this war by educating the public about drugs' negative effects on society.
YCRC is based on the knowledge that the majority of stakeholders lack the knowledge necessary for them to provide education to the community. To address the issues that previously existed in the dissemination of drug content, the Drug Control and Enforcement Authority (DCEA), in partnership with several stakeholders, has prepared a guidebook for providing education about the problem of drugs in the country.
Pillars of Hope services as an additional resource to help disseminate this important message to vulnerable youth. Specifically, PoHEO helps with demand reduction through education of the risks of drug use. We welcome the sharing of information, strategies and collaboration the help our at-risk youth.
