The Drugs and Substance Abuse Workshop provided the participants an opportunity to review, comment and identify research gaps in drugs and substance abuse issues. Participants proposed ways of enhancing drugs and substance abuse research in the country to promote a campaign that is evidence-based.

The research content of the workshop was built from responses by drug and substance abuse researchers who volunteered their papers. The papers were reviewed within alcohol and drugs themes and qualified for presentation at the workshop.

Research findings presentations both in plenary and thematic break away sessions provided opportune for deliberations, building consensus on action points and recommendations for future research.

Participants included researchers, academicians, Ministries, lawyers, faith based organizations (FBOs), journalists and representatives of non-governmental organizations (NGOs).
