ARQ part II data management
Training pack 3: Practical issues and
detailed guidance notes
The completion process
• Set up an ARQ team• Make a work plan for the
search for, collection and retrieval of potential data sources and the consultation of experts
• Assign tasks and “sub-tasks”• Determine procedures for
decision-making • Prepare draft versions of the
ARQ for discussion• Submit final version of ARQ• Evaluate completion process
Submission
• Timely submission is crucial• If tasks require more time than
the submission date permits:– Implement for the following year’s
ARQ with an extended schedule
• If the data requested are not yet available: – Propose short-, mid- and long-term
actions to remedy the omissions– Ask for UNODC assistance and
advice for implementation when needed
Form fields
• Acrobat format form– Some text fields only accept numbers– Size of text fields restricts amount of text

Various types of RSAs can be conducted, following a continuum from brief initial assessments at an early stage of intervention development through to more focussed assessments designed to develop specific projects. An RSA can be broad-based, as was the case with many of the UNDCP-contracted country studies. These studies described trends and patterns of drug abuse in a few important settings in the given countries, the characteristics of the drug-abusing population, their needs, availability of drug treatment services for the drug-abusing population, existing policy responses or other community-based interventions that had taken place, what new interventions were urgently needed and so on. RSAs can also however be more focussed on particular aspects of drug abuse such as the design of communication strategies and messages, drug-injecting and risks and prevalence of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) among injecting drug users. RSAs can be conducted once or may be repeated over time.
