The ministry led the coordination, policy-making, monitoring and evaluation of all counter-narcotics activities and efforts. All activities were carried out in view of the Constitution of Afghanistan, the Afghan Drug Law and Afghanistan's National Drug Control Strategy (NDCS).

The role of Minister of Counter Narcotics has been described as the world's toughest job.[1]

Functions edit

Opium production in Afghanistan exceeds by far the opium produced in the rest of the world. The ministry had the lead on coordinating and evaluating the Afghan Drug Law and the NDCS.

The ministry has eight pillars of activity:

  • institution building
  • law enforcement
  • international and regional cooperation
  • eradication
  • public awareness
  • alternative livelihoods
  • criminal justice
  • demand reduction

There are four published priorities for activity:

  1. Disrupting the drugs trade by targeting traffickers and their backers and eliminating the basis for the trade.
  2. Strengthening and diversifying legal rural livelihoods.
  3. Reducing the demand for illicit drugs and treatment of problem drug users.
  4. Strengthening state institutions both at the centre and in the provinces The Government intends to spend the preponderance of its resources and energy on these four priority areas.
