Drug prevention
The European Commission has published the 2009 annual work programme of the Drug Prevention and Information programme. Around EUR2 million will be available for the next call for proposals (planned to be launched at the end of 2009), financing up to 20 transnational projects in the following areas: a) exchange of best practices on drug-demand reduction; b) awareness raising activities on the health and social problems caused by drug use; c) support measures aimed at preventing drug use; d) supporting the involvement of civil society in the implementation of the EU Drug Strategy. EU grants per project can range between EUR75,000 and EUR500,000 and cover up to 80% of the project eligible cost.
