Global Drug Policy Index - Launch events
The Global Drug Policy Index is the first tool of its kind to document, measure and compare countries’ drug policies worldwide. The Index assesses both policies on the books and implementation on the ground. Countries are scored on the basis of transparent, up-to-date and reliable data. The higher the score, the more drug policy in that country aligns with the United Nations Common Position on drug policy. The Index is available from Monday, 8 November (00:01 CET - GMT+1) at www.GlobalDrugPolicyIndex.net
National launch events are organised as part of the Index's dissemination plans across the globe, including:
