		Community Prevention Communities are an extension of the home and the school. Communities can therefore support and reinforce anti-drug messages given at schools and other forum. Who is at risk? All persons within the community are potentially at risk of drug abuse, but the following categories of persons are more so: School dropouts Abandoned and unsupervised children The unemployed/underemployed The homeless Aim The community prevention programme is aimed at equipping community-based organizations to participate actively in the fight against drugs. This is done through: Mobilizing and empowering community action groups to undertake demand reduction and prevention activities aimed at reducing the use of illicit drugs and the misuse and abuse of licit substances Mounting education campaigns geared toward encouraging healthy lifestyles. Current The programme presently supports and facilitates community initiatives, which are geared towards prevention and/or reduction of drug consumption.
