The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) says it has supported 816 people recovering from addiction since January this year.
The agency announced on Monday, November 9, that the individuals had received technical and vocational training with financial support from the European Union.
According to the office, 719 of the beneficiaries were men and 97 were women.
The agency said that after completing their technical and vocational training, the participants received basic equipment and resources to start their own businesses.
The programme aims to provide them with opportunities to earn an income and support the reintegration of people recovering from addiction into society.
