National Council Against Drug Abuse (NCADA)
NCADA was formed in January 1995 as a citizen’s advisory council to the Ministry of Home Affairs on preventive drug measures and programmes in Singapore. The Council advises the Government on measures and strategies to curb drug abuse in Singapore. Its role is also to harness community support for anti-drug programmes and complement the promotion of preventive drug efforts, programmes, and research to inform the public on the dangers of drug addiction.
Strategic Thrusts
The Council’s focal areas are:
Publicity & Communications – To achieve impactful and sustained communications through the creation of awareness for the drug-free cause and the generation of shared commitment for a drug-free Singapore.
Advocacy & Community Engagement – To rally and expand support for the drug-free cause and measures through strategic partnerships and the building of advocacy and community resources.
Research - To gather evidence-based facts to refine preventive drug strategies and provide actionable insights to strengthen upstream drug prevention efforts in Singapore.
