Drug Policy Advocacy in Asia: Challenges, Opportunities and Prospects

This report was commissioned by the International Drug Policy Consortium (IDPC), with the support of Australian Aid, for the purpose of developing a better understanding of drug policy advocacy activity in 10 Asian countries: Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam. It aims to achieve three goals:

• Identify organisations engaged in harm reduction and drug policy advocacy
• Identify gaps and challenges in harm reduction and drug policy advocacy that remain to be addressed
• Develop recommendations for prioritising new activities in harm reduction and drug policy advocacy
