Demand Reduction Goals, Objectives and Target Measurement
G. Private Sector Involvement Critical to Demand Reduction Effort
The National Drug Control Strategy recognizes that the federal government is not the sole financier of the national anti-drug effort. A national-level strategy requires a national-level effort. To achieve the Strategy's Goals, responsibility must be shared among all levels of government and the private sector federal, state, local and private entities. These entities, involved in our national drug control effort, must join together to reduce drug abuse if the Strategy's Goals are to be achieved.
By providing management objectives, The National Drug Control Strategy provides a framework by which communication between the federal government and its partners in drug control can be improved. It remains the federal government's objective to ensure that resources provided to our partners have few strings attached so that our partners have maximum flexibility in determining how best to use federal funds in achieving Strategy Goals and Objectives. At the same time, the requirement for increased accountability and improved performance means that partners must work cooperatively with federal agencies.
