Welcome to the 2023 Africa Drug Policy Conference Report

​At the heart of Africa's progressive stride towards more humane and effective drug policies, our recent conference convened a diverse group of experts, activists, policymakers, and community representatives. Together, we charted the emerging landscapes of drug policy developments, strengthened our network of stakeholders and partners, and intensified advocacy efforts with one central vision: crafting a drug policy that is rooted in dignity, science, and human rights.

​We are proud to present the Africa Drug Policy Report, a comprehensive overview of the conference held in 2023. This document not only encapsulates the discussions and outcomes of the conference but also showcases the ongoing commitment to ensure that the voices of people who use drugs are not just heard but are seminal to the formulation, practice, and implementation of drug policy across the continent.
