Summary
"The National Anti-Drug Strategy (the “Strategy”) is a horizontal initiative of 12 federal
departments and agencies, led by the Department of Justice Canada (DOJ). As described in the
Speech from the Throne in October 2007, the Strategy is a focused initiative whose goal is to
“contribute to safer and healthier communities through coordinated efforts to prevent use, treat
dependency and reduce production and distribution of illicit drugs.” The Strategy seeks to
achieve this goal through three action plans devoted to prevention, treatment, and enforcement.
The Implementation Evaluation of the Strategy was conducted between December 2008 and
September 2009 in accordance with the Treasury Board Evaluation Policy. The primary purpose
of the evaluation was to assess whether the Strategy has been implemented as planned. This
report summarizes the evaluation findings, draws conclusions, and provides recommendations."--Page 1.
