IDPC drug policy mapping project in Asia

The International Drug Policy Consortium has started a drug policy mapping project across 10 countries in Asia (India, Indonesia, China, Vietnam, Thailand, Myanmar, Malaysia, Philippines, Laos and Cambodia).

The goal of the project is to gain a better understanding of drug policy making in the region. We are particularly interested in identifying the key policy actors, especially organisations who are engaged in policy advocacy. In an attempt to avoid the trap of "intra-disiplanary capture," where one only frames the issue from their own perspective, I'm keen to define drug policy as widely as possible.

In order to understand the process of drug policy making, we have developed a data collection website. The website seeks to gather data on a range of topics relevant to the policy process. I would be extremely grateful if you could get the ball rolling by logging into the site and having your say.
