A 5-day training aim at improving the skills of core drug prevention educators in Ghana is currently underway in Accra. The program was opened yesterday by the Deputy Director General of the Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC), in charge of Enforcement, Elimination and Control, Mr Michael Addo.
It is being organised by the Economic Commission of West African States (ECOWAS) and the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) of the United States.
The training is to enable the 25 participants, who are drug prevention educators, carry out effective evidence-based drug education in a sustainable manner to address drug use among children, adolescents, and young adults in communities across the country.
