Saint Lucia
We support Saint Lucia in the implementation of Law 22 on the Prevention of Drug Abuse (1988). This accompaniment has focused on the control and management of precursor chemicals.
How do we support the country?
Control of chemical precursors
- 1 protocol for the control of drug precursor chemicals.
Drug demand reduction
- 1 social innovation laboratory aimed at prevention and harm reduction to improve the response to drug use and prevention in minors under the care of the State.
- 2 study visits to learn about models of care for problematic drug use in community treatment facilities in Uruguay and Colombia. The visits have served to design a pilot project in Valparaíso aimed at creating a community work department in the territory that can be articulated with existing prevention and treatment programmes.
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.
