From 17 - 21 June 2019, UNODC trained a total of 16 trainers in Pakistan on the Universal Prevention Curriculum (UPC) Course-5 which covers school-based interventions. The training of trainers (ToT) of UPC in Pakistan consists of 3 selected courses from the UPC coordinator series that includes an introduction, school, and media.

The first ToT on the introduction of Prevention Science was held in January 2019. The participants will conduct training campaigns in their region after the third ToT on media-based interventions in July 2019.
