Technical assistance in the field of evaluation for drug addiction organisations to improve the quality of prevention programmes

Main Objective:

To optimise the resources of various drug addiction services by implementing clear prevention programmes that adhere to European quality standards in the field of prevention.

Summary:

The second edition of the “Technical Assistance” programme seeks to build upon the evaluation processes initiated during its first year and to ensure that the selected programmes achieve recognition as evidence-based, high-quality preventive interventions that maximise the efficient use of public funds. The programme’s specific objective is to enhance the effectiveness, efficacy, efficiency, and quality of the selected prevention programmes by introducing tailored evaluation systems. Ultimately, these efforts aim to secure the inclusion of these programmes in both the DGPNSD Best Practices Portal and the EMCDDA Best Practices Portal.

Technical advice continues to be offered to organisations such as Deporte y Vida and the Spanish Federation of Rehabilitated Gamblers (FEJAR), among others, ensuring targeted support for the optimisation of their initiatives.
