9TH BRANDENBURG FORUM ON DRUGS AND DEVELOPMENT POLICIES “Boosting Transformative Change in Global Drug Policies: Promoting Human-Centered Approaches to Cocaine Markets and Beyond” MEETING REPORT
The 9th Brandenburg Forum on Drugs and Development Policies (BBF) took place from 19th to 21st November 2024 at Schloss Lübbenau in Brandenburg, Germany. The Forum was organised by the Global Partnership on Drug Policies and Development (GPDPD), commissioned by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and implemented under political patronage of the Commissioner of the Federal Government for Drug and Addiction Policy. The meeting was co-hosted by the Government of the Netherlands, the Transnational Institute (TNI) and the International Drug Policy Consortium (IDPC).
The Forum was attended by 52 participants from around the world – including government representatives from Belgium, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Mexico, the Netherlands, Peru, Switzerland, Thailand and the USA. Also in attendance were officials from the European Union (EU), the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), and the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), as well as leading non-governmental organisations. In order to promote open dialogue, discussions were conducted under the ‘Chatham House Rule’ whereby the content of discussions can be shared but neither the identity nor the affiliation of any participants should be revealed. For the first time, the BBF dedicated its first day to a thematic focus: the global cocaine situation and approaches for transformative change with a view towards cocaine markets.
