Innovations

Debate on drug policy is often emotional and guided by ideology. In contrast, the GPDPD on behalf of the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) advocates for evidence-based drug policies and has set up the Innovation Lab as a forum for new knowledge, new ideas and new networks.

Phenomena, policies and programmes related to drug economies are often viewed too one-sidedly. The interplay of different perspectives is promising in order to understand and address the complexity of drug economies and their economic, social and societal consequences.
