[7] Since then, IDPC has welcomed over 170 members, which include NGOs, academic institutions, think tanks, networks and community organisations engaged in drug policy advocacy – located in every region of the world.

[9] Every decision and advocacy position of IDPC is taken in full consultation with the membership, and the work plan is designed and implemented in close partnership with the member organisations.

In turn, IDPC offers NGOs a platform to share experience and best practice in the field of drug policy, and facilitates the engagement of the network in policy making processes at national, regional and international level – via the provision of advocacy tools, the sharing of key information on how to engage, the organisation of capacity building workshops,[10][11][12] and the facilitation of meetings between national governments with local NGOs.

Don’t Punish is a global advocacy campaign calling for better drug policies that prioritise public health and human rights, coordinated by IDPC since 2013.

[22] The campaign is organized worldwide with loval activities such as rallies, video projections, street art, concerts, petitions, sports events and film screenings.
