The National Secretariats Meeting (NSM) of The Colombo Plan Drug Advisory Programme (CPDAP) serves as a platform where key stakeholders and experts convene to address drug-related issues, collaborate on solutions, and advance collaborative strategies to reduce both drug demand and supply.

The annual gathering of the NSM aims to provide a forum to discuss Drug Demand and Supply Reduction efforts among member countries of The Colombo Plan. The meeting also facilitates knowledge sharing, identification of possible gaps in the field, finding collective solutions and exploring avenues for potential collaborations in the future amongst member countries.
