Lesson learned

Huge differentiation of drug problem and socio-economical context in the region – differentiated response needed

Crucial role of close collaboration with local expert The need for mutual elaboration of local program

with local experts European best practices cannot be directly transfer

but should be carefully adopted Important role of support from national government

19.04.23 Seite 1818

Conditions of successful implementation The necessity for continuation of actions based on

the results of CADAP 4 The acceptance of MEDISSA component as

capacity building concept Close and efficient collaboration with national and
