Country Programmefor Pakistan

UNODCUnited Nations Office on Drugs and Crime

“Developing soultions for drugs and related challenges in Pakistan”

UNODC has been working in Pakistan for over 35 years, in close collaboration with the Government of Pakistan (GOP) and civil society, with the purpose of addressing development challenges, specifically related to drugs and crime. Together with the GOP, the UNODC has developed its second Country Programme in order to ensure that its support is clearly directed towards strategic priorities and meets Pakistan's needs. The second Country Programme (CPII) draws on the lessons and experiences of its predecessor (CPI) and aims to bolster the efforts of the GOP in enforcing the rule of law.

To ensure coherence and efficacy, the GOP and the UNODC have jointly agreed to outcomes that will contribute to peace and stability, complement GOP policies and programmes, assist Pakistan in achieving international commitments, and engage with UNODC mandates. The development process, as with its predecessor, has been built around mapping exercises, strategic consultations with donors and baseline assessments. CPII is not a static document but a dynamic framework that can be adapted as it is implemented according to changing needs and priorities.

COUNTRY PROGRAMME

Drug Demand Reduction, Prevention and Treatment

SUB-PROGRAMME 3

Pakistan is a transit, destination country for drugs and precursor chemicals. It is also a transit, source and destination country for trafficked persons and smuggling of migrants. This illicit traffic in narcotics and human beings poses significant challenges to border management, a critical issue for economic development and national security.

Sub-Programme I (SP-I) will focus on helping the country's law enforcement agencies (LEAs) to provide a secure environment for the people of Pakistan, which is free from illicit trafficking, human trafficking, migrant smuggling, and other Trans-organised Crime (TOC) related activities. The work will be carried out t h ro u g h t h e cont i n u e d ca p a c i t y building of the LEAs, particularly those operating along the western border region, with a focus on

inter-agency and cross-border cooperation.

These regions show a higher level of drug dependence, and are home to the most significant drug trafficking routes.

The SP-I is designed to enhance the core capacities of Pakistan's LEAs to counter illicit trafficking and more effectively manage borders. This includes basic and specialized training and capacity-building assistance through provision of operational equipment.

In addition, a significant component is related to promoting and supporting regional cooperation forums for Information-sharing, joint training and operational collaboration between regional and international counterpart agencies.

A significant component of the work will consist of building the capacity of communities those are particularly vulnerable and could potentially fall victim to the transnational criminal syndicates in affected regions such as Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan.

Continuous consultation with civil society in collaboration with g o v e r n m e n t s t a k e h o l d e r s w i l l contribute to ensuring that the programme activities are inclusive, involve the beneficiaries, and raise awareness amongst the general public regarding challenges related to illicit trafficking and the activities of TOC networks.

UNODC has institutionalised GOP ownership and input in the implementation of activities through an inclusive governance mechanism comprised of a high-level strategic Programme Governance Committee and expert-level Technical Working Groups. Jointly, the GOP and UNODC have developed a strong, collaborative relationship dedicated to achieving shared outcomes.

The PGC is co-chaired by the UNODC and GOP for the purpose of reviewing progress and developing future plans for sub-programmes.

TWGs provide a platform for GOP representatives to provide advice and technical input on UNODC work-plans. A TWG meets twice a year for each respective sub-programme.
