Information:
 RAID
Gambia is a registered non-governmental organisation
which champions a number of causes such as anti-smoking,
substance abuse, illicit drugs trafficking, Aids / HIV,
anti baby abandoning and teen pregnancy.
The organisation was formed after the realisation that
substance abuse and illegal drugs trafficking posed
a detrimental effect on public health and the socio-economic
structure.
More recently RAID has carried out the following programs
around The Gambia.
• Providing sensitization
workshops & seminars in schools and among the young
outside school about the scourge of HIV / Aids, tobacco
use, dangers of drug abuse and peddling, the importance
of gaining skills for their livelihood and the general
part youths play in national development.
•
Training of grass roots community based volunteer workers
on the dangers of illegal drugs, cigarette smoking and
other illegal substances in the community.
• Partnering with the various government ministries
and international, multi-lateral agencies such as the
ministries of health, local government, the Interior,
WHO, UNFPA, UNICEF etc.
• Set up a network
of health workers nationwide supported by transport
and training.
• Provide for the creation of
a youth NAM (parliamentarian MP) in the Banjul capital.
• Countrywide advisory and consultation on activities
related to illegal substance abuse. |
