Call for Applications: UNODC launches the CHILD Implementation Grants Programme for the 1st time to strengthen the capacity of civil society from low- and middle-income countries working with children at risk of using drugs.
This first call for proposals builds on past CHILD capacity-building initiatives in South American, African, and Asian countries and is therefore limited to not-for-profit organizations from these continents.

Background
Opioid overdose remains a public health crisis in diverse communities. Between 2019 and 2020, there was an almost 40% increase in drug fatalities primarily due to opioid analogues of both stimulants and opioids. Medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD; e.g., buprenorphine) are effective, evidence-based treatments that can be delivered in office-based primary care settings. We investigated disparities in the proportion of national prescribers who have obtained a waiver issued to prescribe MOUD by demographic characteristics.

O consumo de álcool contribui para 3 milhões de mortes a cada ano em todo o mundo, bem como para as deficiências e problemas de saúde de milhões de pessoas.
