Résumé :
Developing and sustaining successful HIV prevention strategies that address the needs of drug users and other vulnerable groups is a vitally important task for governments, non-governmental organizations, medical providers and affected communities. An international evidence base has proven that harm reduction strategies are successful, both in reducing drug-related harms and in preventing the spread of HIV/AIDS. As a result, stakeholders should be vigilant in their support of these efforts and the individuals who provide these life-saving services. This report details the many ways in which the harm reduction community is expanding its reach - undertaking new approaches, increasing collaboration, and improving service quality and coverage. In doing so, it provides a range of models for enhancing the success of harm reduction programs. The capacity-building experts listed in this guide represent the leading lights of the harm reduction movement in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. They can be counted upon to provide guidance and mentorship to those with less experience. (Editor' s abstract)
