Study report on “Strategies to conter Afghan opiate production”, 2010

02/06/2010

This study analyses all the strategies implemented over a decade to combat the Afghan opiate industry. These strategies variously tackle the production cycle, commercialisation and the use of opiate derivatives, and include different approaches: awareness-raising, repression (crop eradication, seizure, legal action against different categories of actors, etc.) and the implementation of alternative programmes (including agricultural programmes, but also more generally, rural development programmes).
