Background

UNODC is a global leader in the fight against illicit drugs and international crime. The three pillars of the UNODC work programme are:

• Technical cooperation project to enhance the capacity of Member States to counteract illicit drugs, corruption, transnational organized crime and terrorism.

• Research and analytical work to increase knowledge and understanding of drugs and crime issues and expand the evidence base for policy and operational decisions; and
