This project is conducted through the UNODC Regional Centre for East Asia and the Pacific. The Project Staff from the UNODC are Jeremy Douglas and Eduardo Hidalgo
Aims
Design and Method
NDARC had a Letter of Agreement with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime Regional Centre for East Asia and the Pacific to support their project 'Improving ATS Data and Information Systems' (AD/RAS/01/F97) through the provision of technical assistance and information sharing.
The project itself consists of developing national systems through which data on amphetamine-type stimulants can be collected, a regional network of focal points through which information can be shared and synthesized, and a regional clearinghouse for amphetmine-type stimulant trends in East Asia and the Pacific. NDARC will be contributing information on the Australian ATS situation to this project from 2004. Further information on the project can be found at www.apaic.org.
