    START MEMO POST-OBJ:
    Zarina Mulla is social planner for the City of Vancouver's
    Drug Policy Program. In this capacity, she is responsible
    for developing drug prevention programs that educate
    Vancouver's public on the dangers of drug abuse. Zarina has
    a strong interest in visiting U.S. municipal drug prevention
    programs to learn more about effective ways of providing
    community-based drug abuse education. We believe she is an
    excellent candidate for the IVL Multi-Regional Project on
    Drug Abuse Prevention, Treatment and Education scheduled for
    November 10 - December 1, 2005.
    In 2001, the City of Vancouver's Drug Policy Program
    implemented the Four Pillars Drug Strategy, its nationally
    acclaimed policy and plan for reducing drug-related harm in
    Vancouver. The plan called for efforts to address drug abuse
    through four areas: harm reduction, enforcement, treatment
    and prevention. To date, most attention from politicians and
    policymakers has been given to the first pillar of harm
    reduction. Harm reduction receives public support from all
    directions to promote efforts to reduce the harm drug
    abusers inflict on themselves through controversial programs
    such as the Supervised Injection Site. Enforcement efforts
    make news daily, though primarily on arrests rather than
    convictions. Treatment receives some additional attention
    through a focus on needle exchange programs, methadone
    clinics, and the medically prescribed heroine trials
    currently underway known as the NAOMI Project.
    The pillar of drug prevention, however, receives very little
    public attention despite its goal of educating the public on
    the dangers of drugs. Zarina Mulla leads her office to
    create programs that aim to foster dialogue at community
    centers and schools on drug abuse education. She organizes
    dozens of creative programs, but Vancouver officials and the
    local media fail to promote them actively. Zarina is open to
    new, innovative approaches to community drug prevention
    programs that will catch the public's attention. We believe
    that participation in the IVL program will give her the
    opportunity to study such innovative approaches currently in
    use in the U.S. The knowledge she would gain through the
    program could then be applied to her efforts to provide
    Vancouver's population with effective drug prevention
    programming.
    Zarina came to Vancouver's Drug Policy Program in 2003,
    bringing extensive experience working with young ex-drug
    abusers during a stint overseas in Thailand. She works
    directly under Donald MacPherson, the Drug Policy
    Coordinator for Vancouver and chief architect of the Four
    Pillars Drug Strategy. Zarina is committed to a career in
    drug policy planning and will continue to play an important
    role in designing Vancouver's drug prevention programming
    and policy for years to come. For these reasons, we believe
    she is an ideal IVL Program candidate.

    It sounds as if this program will cover all areas she would
    like to learn more about.

    NOMINATING-OFFICER: Luis Arreaga, CG; Ian Hillman, PAO;
    Sanjay Ramesh,
    START MEMO NOMINATING-JUSTIFICATION:
    Zarina Mulla is social planner for the City of Vancouver's
    Drug Policy Program. In this capacity, she is responsible
    for developing drug prevention programs that educate
    Vancouver's public on the dangers of drug abuse. Zarina has
    a strong interest in visiting U.S. municipal drug prevention
    programs to learn more about effective ways of providing
    community-based drug abuse education. We believe she is an
    excellent candidate for the IVLP Multi-Regional Project on
    Drug Abuse Prevention, Treatment and Education scheduled for
    November 10 - December 1, 2005.
    In 2001, the City of Vancouver's Drug Policy Program
    implemented the Four Pillars Drug Strategy, its nationally
    acclaimed policy and plan for reducing drug-related harm in
    Vancouver. The plan called for efforts to address drug abuse
    through four areas: harm reduction, enforcement, treatment
    and prevention. To date, most attention from politicians and
    policymakers has been given to the first pillar of harm
    reduction. Harm reduction receives public support from all
    directions to promote efforts to reduce the harm drug
    abusers inflict on themselves through controversial programs
    such as the Supervised Injection Site. Enforcement efforts
    make news daily, though primarily on arrests rather than
    convictions. Treatment receives some additional attention
    through a focus on needle exchange programs, methadone
    clinics, and the medically prescribed heroine trials
    currently underway known as the NAOMI Project.
    The pillar of drug prevention, however, receives very little
    public attention despite its goal of educating the public on
    the dangers of drugs.
    Zarina Mulla leads her office to create programs that aim to
    foster dialogue at community centers and schools on drug
    abuse education. She organizes dozens of creative programs,
    but Vancouver officials and the local media fail to promote
    them actively. Zarina is open to new, innovative approaches
    to community drug prevention programs that will catch the
    public's attention. We believe that participation in the IVL
    program will give her the opportunity to study such
    innovative approaches currently in use in the U.S. The
    knowledge she would gain through the program could then be
    applied to her efforts to provide Vancouver's population
    with effective drug prevention programming.
    Zarina came to Vancouver's Drug Policy Program in 2003,
    bringing extensive experience working with young ex-drug
    abusers during a stint overseas in Thailand. She works
    directly under Donald MacPherson, the Drug Policy
    Coordinator for Vancouver and chief architect of the Four
    Pillars Drug Strategy. Zarina is committed to a career in
    drug policy planning and will continue to play an important
    role in designing Vancouver's drug prevention programming
    and policy for years to come. For these reasons, we believe
    she is an ideal IVL Program candidate.
    This nomination supports the Mission's goal of fighting the
    criminal activity and public health problems that accompany
    drug abuse.
