affected by major difficulties of operation. The National Anti drug project is no longer operational. Lack of training and detection equipment complicates the work of the police and customs. At the police, there is an anti drug national service (led by 2 agents) established in 1992, at the Directorate of Judicial Police. From 1998 to 2003, the service began file update on drug users information, their address or place of residence. This service does not have the means to be more operational. Some actions are taken by the administrative structures, United Nations agencies and local NGOs to reduce the extent of the phenomenon. The Ministry of Health, Social Affairs and Family, in partnership with NGOs, including Caritas addresses the difficulties related to child drug abuse. It conducts sensitisation of children who are in the street and creates "spaces for children"; The WHO held from January 30 to February 1, 2007 in Ouesso a workshop on the establishment of school anti-drug club. On the occasion of the International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking, the Ministry for Health organized in partnership with the WHO and NGOs, advocacy activities for offenders and police officers, through the AIDS-drug prevention programme and submitted a draft law against smoking and also revised the pharmaceutical legislation. Several courses are taught on drugs at the National School of Police. The establishment of 65 anti drugs clubs respectively by the NGO Club antidrogue et antisida à l’école (CADASE: 59) with the support of the WHO and the Association Serment Merveil (6). The NGO Attack against drugs, prostitution and AIDS (Attack3) created a free sensitisation bulletin "journal Attack3" in which a caricature section highlights the effects of drug. It also conducts information, education and communication with the support of UNICEF. In order to reduce drugs and alcohol youth vulnerability, the government took into account strategies in the poverty reduction strategy paper, including: (i) strengthening the fight against trafficking and drug use; (ii) the continuation and completion of the disarmament, demobilisation and reintegration of war veterans; (iii) the implementation of specific actions of the national strategic framework for vulnerable children, including prevention of vulnerabilities, reactivation of legal tools and rehabilitation of children in conflict with the law, support and reinforcement of what has been built such as shelters for orphans and vulnerable children, promotion of partnerships and private initiatives. Apart from these strategies, it would be appropriate to re-enable the anti drug inter-ministerial technical committee and to strengthen the capacity of people who will be responsible for implementing actions to fight against this phenomenon. 5. Reformation, family reintegration and social rehabilitation For all these children victims of drug abuse, a mere repressive method is not enough. Family reintegration and social rehabilitation ensure a better chance of success. Unfortunately, the lack of quality staff, in sufficient numbers, as well as lack of alternative care and support structures negate all efforts. For all categories of children in need, social rehabilitation and reintegration into the family remains one of the best solutions. C - Children of imprisoned mothers In 2009, 20% of incarcerated women in Congo were mothers of children (Activity Report 2009 ADHUC). Children of imprisoned mothers have the right to visit their mother in the hours authorised by the prison regulations. Incarcerated mothers with their babies immediately receive bail in case of less serious offenses. For serious offenses babies are to be entrusted to maternal substitutes in their families or placed in nurseries. 109
