The key focus was on vocational education and sustainable livelihoods, with drug and HIV awareness running as transversal themes. This research aims to improve our understanding of broad ranging education activities, within the government, nongovernment and private sectors. A specific focus is given on the development of vocational education and the fostering of livelihood skills among drug users, ex-drug users and people vulnerable to drug use.
