Project Description:

Pharmaceutical products are controlled through international treaties, conventions and other agreements. At the national level, countries adopt legislation, regulations and administrative systems to control the productions, distribution and use of these drugs.

CICAD provides training and technical assistance to member states to strengthen their capacity to effectively control pharmaceutical products that are subject to diversion and abuse. This can include helping to develop the legislative foundation and regulatory framework necessary to control chemicals as well as the administrative and regulatory systems that must be in place to implement these control provisions.

In addition, CICAD organizes training seminars for administrative officers responsible for the control of these pharmaceutical products. These seminars are delivered at the national or sub-regional level. The focus of each seminar is adjusted to respond to the needs of the participating countries.

Objectives:

To strengthen the capacity of member states to control pharmaceutical products
