Afghan Opiate Trade and Africa- A Baseline Assessment

(Working title)

February 2016

PREFACE TO THE PRE-PUBLICATION DRAFT Enhancing the knowledge on patterns and trends of the Afghan opiate trade remains an important area for

the Afghan Opiate Trade Project (AOTP) (GLOV20). AOTP has released several project reports such as The

Global Afghan Opium Trade (2011), The Afghan opiate trade through the Southern Route (2015) on the flow

of Afghan opiates in which the findings identified the need for a further study focusing on opiate trafficking

to and through Africa. The objective is to enhance knowledge on trafficking of Afghan opiates from

Afghanistan, through the Southern Route, to the African Continent and further trafficking from Africa to

Europe.

Afghan Opiate Trade and Africa- a baseline assessment involves the study of opiate trafficking through the

Southern Route to Africa. It includes an analysis of the latest available statistical data and trends regarding

the illicit trafficking of opiate, the trafficking modus operandi and beneficiaries to Africa.

The majority of data used in the report was obtained from the UNODC’s Drugs-Monitoring Platform (a joint

AOTP & Paris Pact Initiative), the Annual Response Questionnaires (ARQ), submitted by Member States on

an annual basis, and the Individual Drug Seizure (IDS) database. Unless specified otherwise, data in this

document considers only those cases where information for all required parameters (such as departure

country / destination country / method of transport) was available.

The present document containsstatistical material that will be used for the preparation of the Afghan

Opiate Trade and Africa – A baseline assessment report. Member States are encouraged to review the

statistical material contained in this pre-publication document and forward any comments to the UNODC.

Only comments received by 26- January- 2016 will be taken into account for the finalisation of the report,

which is scheduled to be published in February 2016.

This document is to be used exclusively for review by Member States and is not for quotation or

dissemination.
