• Representation of Provincial House of Traditional Leaders in Provincial Substance Abuse Forums
• Making municipal Local Drug Action Committees mandatory rather than optional
• Making involvement of substance abusers in decision making on their “needs” conditional

• Intensify “deliberate” focus on Substance Abuse in other dplg LG programmes
• Establish partnership around Substance Abuse focus week
