The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has ramped up its efforts to combat drug-related crimes through a series of strategic initiatives, including the launch of a confidential hotline for reporting drug offenses. During the UAE Government Annual Meetings 2025, Sheikh Zayed bin Hamad Al Nahyan, Chairman of the National Anti-Narcotics Authority (Nana), announced the hotline, which offers financial rewards to informants whose tips lead to the apprehension of traffickers and the prevention of smuggling attempts. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to unify national efforts against narcotics and involve all government entities and the community in this critical fight. Additionally, the UAE has identified and blocked 2,297 websites and social media accounts promoting drugs and mind-altering substances, targeting the digital platforms often exploited by traffickers. To further strengthen drug prevention, the UAE plans to introduce a new school subject, ‘Security and Safety,’ into primary and secondary curricula. This subject will educate students on avoiding harmful behaviors, with a particular focus on the dangers of drugs in secondary schools. The country is also enhancing international cooperation, collaborating with 24 nations to seize large quantities of narcotics abroad. These efforts aim to build an integrated ecosystem for prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation, safeguarding society from the pervasive threat of drugs.
