This Strategic Plan presented the Office of National Drug Control Policy’s (ONDCP) long-range goals, strategies, and performance measures for the period FY 2001 to FY 2007 for which it is held accountable in the evaluation of its success to reduce the demand, availability, and consequences of illegal drug use within the United States.
Abstract
The Office of National Drug Control Policy’s FY 2001 to FY 2007 Strategic Plan stated ONDCP’s overall mission and goals. The goals strive to produce national and international outcomes. ONDCP’s primary role is to guide the disparate efforts of numerous agencies by setting national drug control priorities and objectives. Articulated in the Strategy is ONDCP’s principal purpose in establishing policies, priorities, and objectives for the United States’ drug control program. The Plan is presented in four sections. Section I focused on the ONDCP’s mission in the areas of key legislation, major functions and activities, and the National Drug Control Strategy. Section II focused on achieving the goals and objectives of the National Drug Control Strategy through key ONDCP offices and their areas of emphasis (Office of Demand Reduction, Office of Supply Reduction, and Office of State and Local Affairs), budget oversight, and measuring the National Strategy’s progress. Section III focused on ONDCP specific programs including High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas, Counterdrug Technology Assessment Center, National Youth Anti-Drug Media Campaign, and Drug-Free Communities Program. The fourth and final section looked at key external factors that are beyond the control of ONDCP or its programs. They include factors whose long-term effects cannot be predicted such as, intergovernmental issues relating to State and local operation of federally funded drug control programs, private sector actions affecting Strategy targets, and factors affecting international issues. Appendices include related documents and publications, key legislation, and goals and objectives of the National Drug Control Strategy.
