Projecte Vida Joins Andorra's National Drug Dependency Table
Leading Andorran anti-addiction group secures permanent seat after advocating against exclusion from the national plan on mental health and addictions.
Key Points
- Projecte Vida accepted as full, permanent member of national drug dependency table.
- Challenged initial plan limiting civil society to two mental health-linked orgs.
- Supported 169 unique people in 2025 with 291 visits, 37 prison participants, 39 in community groups.
- Preparing survey on addiction topics.
Projecte Vida, a leading Andorran organisation in the fight against addictions, has been accepted as a full member of the national table on drug dependency under the national plan.
The entity, led by Eva Tenorio, raised concerns after the initial plan called for including only two representatives from civil society organisations already on the mental health table. Projecte Vida argued that excluding a pioneer in addiction prevention made little sense, likening it to developing a cancer strategy without involving Assandca from the outset.
The issue was brought to the attention of the health ministry and coordinators of the Comprehensive Plan on Mental Health and Addictions (PISMA). Tenorio, the executive secretary, noted that the mental health table includes around 20 organisations, most of which have no direct link to drug dependency issues addressed by the dedicated table.
Projecte Vida will now participate on a permanent basis. In 2025, the organisation supported 169 unique individuals through 291 visits, with some returning multiple times. It also ran groups in prisons for 37 participants and hosted three active community groups that engaged 39 people.
The organisation is currently preparing its own survey on various addiction-related topics.
