Enforcement 🇧🇫 Burkina Faso

Burkina Faso drug users face jail and scarce alternatives to prison

Drug users were jailed and treatment orders were rarely implemented, according to Mainline's country sheet based on research and civil-society interviews. It reported missing treatment protocols, infrastructure and clear responsibilities, despite the drug legislation allowing judges to order care in place of or alongside punishment.[1]

Listed for context. No score change is recorded for Burkina Faso here.
