A delegation from the Narcotics and Psychotropic Drug Control Agency of the Libyan Ministry of the Interior is visiting the EMCDDA today for the first time. To date, Libyan representatives have taken part in several regional activities under the EU4Monitoring Drugs project, focusing on capacity building and data collection. In 2023, three representatives took part in a training session on building national drug observatories. Over the two days, the delegation will also meet representatives of the Portuguese Reitox focal point (ICAD) to discuss Portuguese drug policy. This meeting will offer the chance for the visiting delegation to present the Libyan drug policy framework and learn about the role of a national focal point and the use of data for the planning and monitoring national drug policy.
