	DEMAND REDUCTION
		Demand reduction programmes should be based on a regular assessment of the nature and magnitude of drug use and abuse and drug-related problems in the population.
		Demand reduction programmes should be designed to address the needs of the population in general, as well as those of specific population groups, paying special attention to youth.
		Demand reduction strategies and specific activities should be thoroughly evaluated to assess and improve their effectiveness.

	UNODC - Drug Abuse & Demand Reduction
		Demand reduction strategies seek to prevent the onset of drug use, help drug users break the habit and provide treatment through rehabilitation and social reintegration.
		At the 1998 UN General Assembly special session on the world drug problem, Member States recognized that reducing the demand for drugs was an essential pillar in the stepped-up global effort to fight drug abuse and trafficking.
		They committed themselves to reduce significantly both the supply of and demand for drugs by 2008, as expressed in the Political Declaration on the Guiding Principles of Drug Demand Reduction (PDF).

	UNODC - United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime
		In the field of illicit drugs, demand reduction strategies are those undertaken to prevent the onset of drug use, to help and encourage those who have already taken drugs to discontinue use and maintain abstinence and to provide advice and treatment for problems of dependent users.
		Demand reduction strategies are used to balance and compliment supply strategies that aim to reduce the production, trafficking and distribution of illicit drugs.
		Capacity Development is essential for the development of effective demand reduction strategies as well as the ability of interested institutional and civil society actors to collaborate with each other.

	Water Supply Reduction Management Plan
		An action plan for water demand management during periods of reduced supply is a necessary component to the water demand management plan because drought and system failures can seriously impact the Town’s water system and the ability of the Town to supply the water users in the Town.
		If the target demand reduction percentage is not met within the corresponding event stage, the Town Manager is authorized to implement elements of the next highest drought stage until the targeted demand reduction is met.
		The extent of the water demand reduction required and the level of implementation of use reduction measures to be placed in effect to assure Gilbert can prudently plan for and supply necessary water will also be determined on a daily basis.

	Small Arms Survey - Demand
		Though a demand perspective has come to be recognized as important by progressive disarmament diplomats and practitioners, multilateral deliberations on small arms control have nevertheless remained nested in supply-side terms.
		Though the issue of demand was raised on occasions in multilateral forums during the 1990s, it remained an unknown quantity in disarmament circles.
		Small arms control from a demand perspective - understood and acted upon in a broad range of activities by municipal and state-level governments, non-governmental agencies, and community-based organizations - focuses on the motivations for and means of weapons acquisition as necessary components of successful small arms action.

	Enhancing the small arms demand reduction agenda:
		While the workshop’s main focus was the demand side of SALW, conference participants agreed that the supply and production dimensions of the small arms problem must also be closely examined, especially since the actors in question (e.g., suppliers, non-state groups, the military, etc.) are involved in both demand and supply.
		As well, she noted, the specific sources of demand and supply within a region must be examined before appropriate "strategic" and "tactical" control measures can be put in place.
		Demand reduction can be undertaken in the contexts of both an immediate post-war environment and longer-term development.

		The Working Group concluded that a variety of uncoordinated demand reduction activities are in action, but are not systematically used and lack sufficient resources.
		Based on these conclusions, the Working Group recommended four themes of demand reduction: general principles of demand reduction; demand reduction practices, particularly in areas of drug abuse prevention; improvement of demand reduction in intersectoral action with more funding and better evaluation; and local national and international responsibilities.
		Development of monitoring and evaluation techniques, promotion of expertise on substance abuse in professionals in various disciplines, and initiation of a group for promotion of policy on demand reduction were also suggested.

	Cisco - OSPF Demand Circuit Feature
		Only one side is required to have the demand circuit command under the interface because if the other side is capable of understanding demand circuit, it automatically negotiates this capability in the hello packet.
		The OSPF flooding reduction feature is a slight modification of the demand circuits designed to reduce additional traffic on links arising from a periodic LSA refresh.
		The main difference between flooding reduction and demand circuits is that former suppresses only periodic LSA refreshes; it does not suppress periodic hello packets.
