Background:

The ImPACT Coalition on the Future of Drug Policy was formed during the UN Civil Society Conference in Nairobi to serve as platform to bring together drug policy voices and build on extensive consultations done regionally and globally in 2023 and early 2024, leading up to the 2024 mid-term review of the Commission on Narcotic Drugs, resulting in a Global Civil Society Report published by the Vienna and New York NGO Committees on Drugs. Following the Nairobi workshop the outcome was circulated to solicit further input, the current version of the ImPACT Coalition work plan can be found here.
