The Global State of Harm Reduction

Harm reduction services take many different forms, including information and peer support, HIV prevention, treatment and care, overdose prevention and inclusive housing. To be effective, these services need to be available, accessible and of high quality.

We monitor the implementation of harm reduction services, policies and programmes so we can highlight where services are particularly effective and where there are gaps in services and policy.
