Non-governmental organisations (NGOs)
38 International NGOs such as the Catholic Institute of
International Relations (CIIR), the Transnational Institute and the umbrella
group the European NGO Council on Drugs and Development (ENCOD) undertake
research and advocacy in the field of drugs and development. Southern NGOs have
valuable local experience, especially in demand reduction, alternative
development and human rights. DFID will work with these and other organisations
of civil society where this is both possible and
useful.
