Cooperation Program between
Latin America, the Caribbean and
the European Union on drug policy

Suriname

We support Suriname in the implementation of Law 22 on the Prevention of Drug Abuse (1988). This accompaniment has focused on strengthening the National Drug Observatory.

How do we support the country?

Strengthening the National Drugs Observatory
  • 1 national research network to strengthen the national drug information system
  • 1 Scientific Committee on Drugs to advise the National Drugs Observatory of the Dominican Republic.
  • 1 technical assistance to the National Anti-Drug Council to incorporate a gender approach to a research questionnaire on drug use in the LGTBIQ+ population.
Drug demand reduction
  • 1 intervention guide to design and implement the territorialisation of penitentiary rehabilitation policies with a gender perspective.
Fight against drug trafficking and organised crime
  • 1 study to improve the registration of final beneficiaries of money laundering, which are being hidden through legal or financial structures to give the appearance of legitimacy to these assets.
  • Updating the Financial Investigations Guide, including the systematisation of good practices for information exchange, since in many cases the financial networks of drug trafficking are not limited to one country.
