Time to do away with National Authority for Campaign against Alcohol and Drug Abuse

It’s time the Kenyan Government should disband NACADA and come up with National Drug/Alcohol Task Force to facilitate a more effective response to the drugs and Alcohol problem in the areas experiencing the highest levels of substance misuse. This can be achieved through improved co-ordination in service provision and through utilising the knowledge and experience of local communities in designing and delivering those services.

The Task Force has to comprise a partnership between the statutory, voluntary and community sectors. Their core mandate will be to prepare and oversee the implementation of action plan which co-ordinate all relevant drugs/ Alcohol programmes around in their areas and address gaps in service provision.
