Calls are growing for the government to facilitate implementation of the National Drug Policy to effectively tackle drug and substance abuse fight.
According to local interest group, Drug Fight Malawi, the absence of a clear roadmap on strategies and actions means very little is happening on the ground despite efforts by several stakeholders to fight drug abuse.
Drug Fight Malawi executive director, Nelson Zakeyu, warns that if nothing is done quickly, the nation’s future will be doomed considering the rate at which youths are taking drugs.
