Drug problem has become very pervasive in a lot of countries around the world particularly in developing nations. The Colombo Plan, a regional inter-governmental organization, recognized many of their member countries are facing multi-faceted problems due to illegal drug production. That is why Drug Advisory Program (DAP) is one of their four permanent programs. Since its inception, DAP has launched on several innovative strategies including faith-based approach in drug demand reduction, drug rehab and treatment. It has also established outreach and drop in centres and introduced life skills to youth. DAP has also formed linkages with government agencies of their member countries to help find solutions to this perennial problem. DAP hopes that through its activities and linkages with other agencies, it will be able to help reduce the drug problems in its member countries.
