The Observatory cooperates with UNDCP’s statistics section on the revision and simplification of the demand reduction portion of the Annual Reports Questionnaire (ARQ).
During 2001 the Executive Secretariat participated in several technical meetings that led to development of the new reporting form, adopted by the UN Commission on Narcotic Drugs at its forty-fourth session. The demand reduction indicators for the second round of the Multilateral Evaluation Mechanism were designed to reflect as closely as possible the core data reported by member states using the ARQ, to avoid duplication of effort.
During 2000 the Executive Secretariat participated in a technical expert group meeting held in January 2000 at EMCDDA.The report of that meeting, the “Lisbon Consensus”, was approved by the U.N. Commission on Narcotic Drugs (CND) in March 2000.
The Secretariat subsequently participated in a meeting of regional drug epidemiology networks to identify obstacles to reporting data on the six agreed-on core indicators; and recommend a design for the ARQ reporting form that would be capable of being used worldwide.
A
representative of UNDCP made a presentation on the
matter to the Commission at its twenty-eighth regular
session.
