Details
Mission and objectives
UNODC's mission is to contribute to global peace and security, human rights and development by making the world safer from drugs, crime, corruption and terrorism.

Context

The Paris Pact Initiative is a global advocacy platform at the highest political level for concrete action aimed at reducing the traffic in opiates, the cultivation of opium poppy and the production and global consumption of opiates by prioritizing technical assistance. The Paris Pact is the only global cooperation mechanism dedicated to illicit opiates and serves to identify counter narcotics priorities and highlight efforts taking place to combat opiate trafficking along major routes. The partnership consists of 81 partner countries and international and regional organizations. The Paris Pact Initiative’s work is guided by the four pillars of the Vienna Declaration, serving as the partnership’s framework of response to the international commitments aimed at countering traffic in narcotic drugs and addressing links with other forms of organized crime.

The four pillars are:
I. strengthening and implementing regional initiatives;
II. detecting and blocking financial flows linked to illicit traffic in opiates;
III. preventing the diversion of precursor chemicals used in illicit opiates manufacturing in Afghanistan; and
IV. reducing drug abuse and dependence through a comprehensive approach.

Living conditions and remarks
Dar es Salaam is Tanzania's most important city for both business and government. The city contains high concentrations of trade and other services and manufacturing compared to other parts of Tanzania, which has about 80 percent of its population in rural areas. Downtown includes many small businesses, many of which are run by traders and proprietors whose families originated from the Middle East and Indian sub-continent—areas of the world with which the settlements of the Tanzanian coast have had long-standing trading relations.
