In November 2023, the African Union Conference took place in Zambia. In the margins of the conference, the Africa Civil Society Forum on Drugs was officially launched. The Forum, as requested by African Union Member States, will be an independent platform of civil society organisations working on drug-related matters to coordinate civil society input to the work of the African Union.

One of its first steps is to conduct a comprehensive mapping exercise of African civil society organizations working on drug-related issues. The mapping is supported by the Vienna NGO Committee. All CSOs working with drug-related matters in Africa are encouraged to fill out the following form: https://forms.gle/FXg5UJa3CkNAzNE99 (the form takes only 2 minutes of your time)

Feel free to share the form within your network to ensure the network includes representation from all African countries and in all areas of drug policy!
