The International Task Force on Strategic Policy is proud to support the efforts of our colleagues at Drug Prevention Network of the Americas.

DPNA has been conducting Forjando Liderazgo/ Forging Leadership seminars throughout Latin America and the Caribbean since 2001, reaching thousands of community leaders and individuals working in the field of drug demand reduction. These seminars have served to enhance communication, establish coalitions and Preventive Cities to make our communities in this region of the world safer. The seminars have been tailored to the needs of the local community and presenters focus on scientifically based evidence and best practices in the field.
