Over the past three decades, the Drug Abuse Prevention Centre (DAPC) has made a name for itself by actively raising funds for youth-oriented drug prevention programs in low- and middle-income countries. Thanks to these contributions, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) has been able to provide grants to partner organizations worldwide since 1994. However, what sets DAPC apart is its approach: young volunteers engage in their communities to raise funds that are then channeled into drug prevention initiatives. This unique approach allows young people to take an active role in preventing drug use and promotes preventive measures at the community level.
As we celebrate this milestone, it is important to recognize the impact that DAPC has had on communities worldwide. Through their dedication and efforts, they have contributed to the well-being of countless individuals and the overall advancement of drug prevention.Let us commemorate 30 years of DAPC's remarkable work and look ahead to a future where drug prevention continues to thrive, empowering young people and fostering community-based initiatives.
