Comprehensive and Sustainable Alternative Development
The reactivation of the Group of Experts on
Comprehensive and Sustainable Alternative Development (known by its Spanish acronym GEDAIS) was
approved at the Fifty-Eighth Regular Session of CICAD-OAS held in Trujillo,
Peru, in November 2015. This Expert Group is a "high-level technical space
to address, according to the realities and needs of each country, the different
experiences, principles, new trends, threats, and problems facing comprehensive
and sustainable alternative development - and, where appropriate, preventive
alternative development- in the hemisphere, with a focus on human development."
In this hemisphere, OAS member states have taken a
fundamental step in attempting to discuss the alternative development concept
towards a strategic concept of comprehensive and sustainable alternative
development (DAIS).
DAIS
supports the CICAD-OAS
Hemispheric Drug Strategy (2020)
through its
Plan of Action (2021-2025), as it adopts
comprehensive and sustainable alternative development measures and law
enforcement based on the needs of each country to provide better quality of life
for all those with high vulnerability conditions, affected by the economy of
illegal drugs and illicit activities related to drugs both in urban and rural
areas.
Currently, OAS member states are leading the discussions on how the
recommendations of the UNGASS
outcome document can be translated into
action. CICAD provides technical support to the
Expert Group as part of the GEDAIS work plan.
