CHAMPS is an acronym that stands for CHildren AMplified Prevention Services. It is a unique initiative in the scope of UNODC operations. It aims to amplify the resilience of children from birth to adolescence and by doing so preventing the use of drugs and other psychoactive substances during childhood and as they grow up.
Why CHAMPS? CHAMPS is a term that is appealing for children to be part of the paradigm shift in prevention. We want them to be part of the making of, and to become the CHAMPS of tomorrow. That being said, the term invites agencies, private sector, government and non-governmental actors to join in championing the initiative, with the leadership of UNODC.
