Bolivia: Unprecedented agreement with the Unodc
Earlier this month the Movimiento al Socialismo (MAS) government led by President Evo Morales signed a ‘Country Programme’ for 2016-2020 with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (Unodc), providing funds of around US$22m to respond to the threats connected with drugs, crime and corruption. The agreement is the first of its kind between Bolivia and Unodc. It is the latest sign of how other institutions have stepped in following President Morales’ expulsion of the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) in 2008 amid a diplomatic spat with the US, which takes issue with Morales’ ‘Coca Sí, Cocaína No’ drugs policy distinguishing between the raw coca leaf and cocaine, the illegal narcotic.
