The Vice Chair of the Demand Reduction Expert Group and National Secretary on Drug Policy of Brazil, Paulina do Carmo Arruda Vieira Duarte, said her government has set the fight against drugs as a priority, and stressed her country's initiative to strengthen ties with the scientific community. "Today, we are direct allies, working together with over 16 higher education institutions in data collection and in the design and implementation of new programs in this area," she said. Duarte noted that demand and supply reduction of drugs "are distinct approaches that complement each other, as both seek the same goal of reducing drug consumption and stop drug trafficking."
