To promote greater transparency, coordination, and promotion of ICQ work, the Board of Directors will have representation from key international organizations (IOs) with a remit to help countries, namely:
- The Colombo Plan - Drug Advisory Programme
- UNODC
- INL
- OAS/CICAD
The IOs will have observer status and contribute to the discussions on how best to promote the vision, mission, and values of ICQ and the activities related to ICQ’s 5 pillars of work.
The Colombo Plan is a partnership concept of self-help and mutual-help in development aimed at socio-economic progress of its member countries.
Promoting interest in and support for the economic and social development of Asia and the Pacific; to promote technical cooperation and assist in the sharing and transfer of technology among member countries; among other related activities.
The Colombo Plan Drug Advisory Program (CPDAP) is a response to the growing drug-related concerns in the Asia-Pacific region. Recognizing the importance of cooperation among agencies, CPDAP brings together government, non-government and international organizations to identify gaps in Drug Demand and Supply Reduction and come up with a coordinated and unified response to the health and social problems related to substance use disorders.
The Organization of American States is the premier regional forum for political discussion, policy analysis and decision-making in Western Hemisphere affairs. The OAS brings together leaders from nations across the Americas to address hemispheric issues and opportunities. Together, they seek to build cooperation among states and advance a common regional agenda on democratic governance, human rights, multidimensional security, and sustainable development.
For two decades, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) has been helping make the world safer from drugs, organized crime, corruption and terrorism. We are committed to achieving health, security and justice for all by tackling these treats and promoting peace and sustainable well-being as deterrents to them.
Because the scale of these problems is often too great for states to confront alone, UNODC offers practical assistance and encourages transnational approaches to action. We do this in all regions of the world through our global programmes and network of field offices.
