WADO & the SDGs
Our work aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
SDGs We Advance
Good Health and Well-being
We address substance use disorders as a public health issue, promote mental health, integrate HIV/AIDS prevention, and expand access to essential health services.
Quality Education
We deliver school-based prevention education, life skills training, and awareness programmes for in-school and out-of-school youth.
Gender Equality
We protect women and girls from drug-related exploitation and violence, and empower them through targeted support programmes.
Decent Work and Economic Growth
We equip young people with market-relevant skills, vocational training, and livelihood opportunities to reduce unemployment as a driver of substance abuse.
Reduced Inequalities
We ensure our interventions are inclusive and accessible to marginalized groups, including persons with disabilities, refugees, and Key Vulnerable Populations (KVPs).
Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions
We advocate for human rights-based approaches to drug policy, support justice-involved populations, and promote good governance within our organization.
Partnerships for the Goals
We build strategic alliances with government, civil society, the private sector, and international development partners to multiply our collective impact.
