Support. Don't Punish Initiative: Advocacy Outreach to YPWUD in West Africa
Reaching out to young people who use drugs in low-income areas of Nigeria, Liberia & Ghana, to support their involvement in drug policy reform efforts.
As part of the Support. Don't Punish Initiatives Grant, we have developed this project aimed at addressing two of the challenges faced by Young People who Use Drugs in low-income areas in Liberia, Ghana & Nigeria. 1. YPWUD in these regions have little, if not no, access to drug-related services, let alone youth-accessible drug services, and 2. YPWUD in this region faces extremely high barriers to accessing advocacy spaces. The project consists of direct harm reduction outreach activities and focus group discussions to collect information on the needs of this population. Furthermore, the project aims to link participants with local actors involved in drug policy reform advocacy and harm reduction services.
