U.S. Embassy Dushanbe announces а new Request for Proposals under the 2021-2022 Drug Demand Reduction Program (DDRP).

The project should:
- Raise awareness of at-risk groups about the dangers of drugs;
- Promote healthy lifestyles and alternatives to drug abuse;
- Focus on а geographic area or areas where problems with drug use are more prevalent;
- Promote an anti-drug message to communities and demographic groups that are identified as particularly vulnerable to drug addiction;
