Young people, drugs and marginalisation in Asia: Dependence to Independence

This position paper has two broad purposes: First, it seeks to make explicit key aspects of the strategic thinking which has informed the design and development of the UNESCO Drug Abuse Prevention Programme for Marginalized Youth in Asia (DAPPA), as well as articulating some specific issues with which the Programme engages within the context of over-arching UNESCO mandates on education and poverty eradication.

Second, drawing upon experience among Programme partners, the paper describes some of the key components of the project and highlights their mutually complementary nature.

Young people, drugs and marginalisation in Asia: Dependence to Independence

In recognition of the complexity of the developmentale determinants and consequences of drug use, the UNESCO Drug Abuse Prevention Programme for Marginalized Youth in Asia (DAPPA) was conceptualized in such a way as to take into account both macro (contextual) and micro (individual and local) factors relating to drug use. The Programme was the result of innovative collaboration between UNESCO, the European Commission and in partnership with a number of NGOs.
