Abstract

The Government of Kenya recognizes drugs and substance abuse (DSA) as a major threat to the wellbeing of its citizens and national development. DSA has increased in magnitude and threatens to undermine the social, economic, and political transformation achieved over the years. Prevention and control of DSA is critical for national development and the realization of the Kenya Vision 2030 and Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA). The national survey on the “Status of Drugs and Substance Use in Kenya, 2022” is a fiveyear survey conducted to assess the trends of DSU programing indicators
