Overview
The Open Society Institute Global Drug Policy Program aims to broaden, diversify and consolidate the network of organizations actively challenging the current state of international drug policy. Stemming from the notion that the "war on drugs" is actually a "war on drug users," the program advocates a more balanced approach in international drug policy with a greater focus on human rights.
The program is dedicated to utilizing scientific evidence and input from organizations and individuals engaged in and affected by drug use and drug policy in the development of policy recommendations.
Eligible candidates
The Global Drug Policy Program welcomes proposals from organizations worldwide. We support a broad range of institutions working in different fields, such as economics, policy, public health, human rights, and the media.
Successful projects should support one or more of the program's objectives and have a strong regional or international focus. Projects should be advocacy-based and are required to have a well-developed strategy for media outreach.
While the program does not have upper or lower funding brackets, projects are expected to demonstrate co-funding. The Global Drug Policy program funds projects which do not exceed one year.
