Background

UNODC is a global leader in the fight against illicit drugs and international crime. The three pillars of the UNODC work programme are:

Field-based technical cooperation projects to enhance the capacity of Member States to counteract illicit drugs, corruption, transnational organized crime and terrorism;
Research and analytical work to increase knowledge and understanding of drugs and crime issues and expand the evidence base for policy and operational decisions; and
Normative work to assist States in the ratification and implementation of relevant international treaties, the development of domestic legislation on drugs, corruption, transnational organized crime and terrorism, and the provision of secretariat and substantive services to the treaty-based and governing bodies.

The partnership between Indonesia and UNODC has evolved since 2007 to become one of the most prominent country programmes for UNODC in Southeast Asia, with its focus on corruption, environmental crime and drug use. UNODC work has evolved towards a support to country-led and -owned policy agenda, consistent with Indonesia’s status as a middle-income country.

The Country Programme (CP) for 2017 -2020 outlines a framework to serve three objectives:

Serve as a guiding strategy for UNODC to support the efforts of the Government of Indonesia (GoI) in the areas of drugs and crime, in line with Indonesia’s Medium-Term National Development Plan and the wider UN Sustainable Development Goals;
Function as a framework for implementation of, and a fundraising tool for, the national counterparts, international partners, other UN agencies and stakeholders; and
