Background |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
UNODC Regional Office for Southeast Asia and the Pacific (ROSEAP) focuses on crime and drug challenges that are best addressed through a coordinated approach at the regional level. The Regional Programme is focused on five independent areas of work: Countering Transnational Organized Crime and Illicit Trafficking; Anti-Corruption; Terrorism Prevention; Criminal Justice; Drugs and health (Drugs and HIV), and alternative development. Under the drugs and health sub-programme, UNODC addresses Substance/Drug Use Disorders (S/DUDs) as a public health, developmental and security problem both in industrialized and developing countries. Through its regional programme on drugs and health, UNODC supports Member States in the region, including Malaysia, in strengthening their efforts in provision of comprehensive evidence-based services on prevention, treatment, and care of drug use disorders as well as HIV and hepatitis services for the populations affected by drug use. Generating strategic information and scientific evidence is an integral part of its overarching support in addressing drug problems, globally and in the region. According to the World Drug Report (2021), it is estimated that 20 million people used cocaine in 2019, corresponding to 0.4 per cent of the global population aged 15-64. Although cocaine use has never been officially reported in Malaysia, an informal assessment conducted by the researchers at the Universiti Sains Malaysia, suggested that cocaine is used in the high-end entertainment setting and is being sold at a high price in the country. This is supported by the information on the seizure of 4.87 Kg of cocaine in Malaysia, in September 2021. As early detection and understanding of cocaine use in the region would be useful for informing the decision makers in developing relevant and appropriate demand and supply reduction programmes and interventions, it is necessary to have a proper understanding of the situation on the use of cocaine in Malaysia.
Objectives of the Assignment Under the supervision of the Regional Drugs and Health Programme Officer, based in UNODC Regional Office for Southeast Asia and the Pacific in Bangkok, the incumbent will be responsible for designing the study, preparing the tools, obtaining the necessary approval and clearance for conducting the study and leading the study in the selected locations of Malaysia.
