Good governance, international drug policy development and new challenges are the three thematic priorities identified by Pompidou Group member states in the work programme 2019-2022, adopted at their 17thMinisterial Conference in Stavanger, on 28 November 2018. Entitled ‘Sustainable drug policies respectful of human rights’, the work programme sets the framework for the next four years, and aims to provide knowledge, support and solutions for effective, evidence based drug policies, which fully respect human rights. The programme continues to include the hallmark activities of the Pompidou Group: law enforcement co-operation on drug trafficking, training for drug policy managers, recognition of youth projects in the field of drug prevention, regional co-operation platforms in the Mediterranean area on drug addiction as well as in South-East Europe on treatment and drug trafficking, and support to the development, implementation and review of national drug policies.
