afrol News / A Semana, 11 April - Cape Verde’s Justice Minister José Manuel Andrade and the representative of the United Nations Regional Office Against Drug and Crime, Antonio Mazzihel, will discuss the reinforcement of Cape Verde’s anti-terrorism legislation today, April 11.

The program, financed by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, calls for the improvement of legal tools used to fight organized crime in Cape Verde. The reinforcement of legislation intended to combat terrorism comes within the framework of the National Strategy for the Fight Against Drugs and Drug-Related Crime presented to Cape Verde’s partners in development in October 2004.

Following this meeting, the government and the UN Office on Drugs and Crime agreed on an integrated program to combat drugs and drug-related crime budgeted at 8 million US dollars.

The program also includes other projects that are already being financed, including the Fight Against Drug Trafficking, Money Laundering, Corruption and Chemical Dependency. The Program Against Drugs and Drug-Related Crime is being financed by the Luxembourg Cooperation Agency, the Dutch Cooperation Agency, the Italian Cooperation Agency, the UN Office on Drugs and Crime, and the United Nations Program Fund.
