Time to have your say!
In preparation for the high level meeting in March 2019 the Civil Society Task Force needs input from the global civil society. The survey is translated into six UN languages and should be filled out by 31st of October.
Fill out the survey here.
In preparation for the 2016 UN General Assembly Special Session (UNGASS) on the world drug problem, the CSTF carried out a web-based Global Civil Society Survey in 2015 which was answered by more than 800 organisations from all around the globe. This supplemented a series of regional and thematic consultations held by the CSTF members, and enabled the formation of “CSTF Findings” that were presented to governments and policy makers in New York.
In preparation for the 2019 High-Level Ministerial Segment of the UN Commission on Narcotic Drugs, the CSTF presents this global civil society consultation. The consultation takes the form of an online survey and has been translated into all six official UN languages for completion by civil society stakeholders around the world.
Please participate in the consultation and fill out the survey by 31 October 2018.
Your input is incredibly valuable to our work and we thank you for your contributions. Please share the consultation as widely as you can. |
