The 2023 WENDU report is the fourth regional report on illicit drug trafficking and drug use in West Africa. The report highlights the latest estimates and trends on drug abuse and drug supply, as well as trafficking in substandard, spurious, falsified and counterfeit medicinal products in West Africa.

The report is based on data collected by the WENDU National Focal Points (NFPs) in each of the available ECOWAS Member States and Mauritania.

 

The launch will make available the 2023 WENDU report for programming, policy, and advocacy to address the social, health and economic consequences of substance abuse and illicit drug trafficking in West Africa.
