Members

Our membership has been growing organically since IDPC was set up in 2006. Members can be NGOs, academic institutions, think tanks or professional networks, but they must have a national or international outlook, and a credible track record in the drug policy field.

There are no membership fees, but all members need to be committed to supporting the IDPC vision and mission, strategic directions, policy principles and work plan.

IDPC has two types of membership:

IDPC Partner Members

Partner Members are organisations that play a more active role in IDPC’s day-to-day work. These members have the skills, capacity and contacts to engage governments and international organisations on drug policy reform. This level of membership includes clear expectations in terms of involvement in consultations, efficient communication and contribution to the advocacy work. As a result, the selection of Partner Members will be based on the level of engagement of the organisation in IDPC’s work, geographical representation (with no more than one Partner Member per country in most cases), and thematic relevance.

IDPC Network Members

Network Members are organisations that are mostly involved in IDPC’s communications work at a less intensive level. These members receive all IDPC communications, and are involved in exchange of ideas and information, and joint planned activities. These members will be able to use the IDPC alerts and website to promote their work, and will help share IDPC’s news, publications and products with their own contacts. IDPC will usually welcome organisations as Network Members in the first instance, rather than as Partner Members.

Centro de Orientación e Investigación Integral (COIN)

Network members

COIN is a private institution in the Dominican Republic, created on 28th November 1988 by a multidisciplinary team of people with experience in working on health and community strengthening. COIN became a legal entity through Order No. 63-89, released by the Executive Power on 20 February 1989. COIN was born out of the HIV epidemic in the Dominican Republic, and since then, we have concentrated our efforts in implementing educative and prevention programmes and healthcare provision, fighting against social discrimination against vulnerable groups, as well as empowerment of marginalised communities.
