The ‘Harm Reduction Asia (HRAsia) e-group’ is a regional platform for all harm reduction service providers in Asian countries.

The e-group is envisioned to serve as a common platform for learning and exchange, tracking challenges and progress, and making joint advocacy efforts.

NAPUD is committed to:

• Meaningful engagement of people who use drugs through addressing structural barriers,
• Urgent scale-up of harm reduction, including needle and syringe program (NSP) and opioid agonist treatment (OAT) to reach coverage targets,
• Increased funding for harm reduction,
• Implementation of decentralized and simplified service delivery led by people who use drugs, and
• Active participation and leadership of communities at all levels of policy and service delivery

All communities and civil society organizations implementing harm reduction services in Asian countries are welcome to join the e-group. We encourage active participation of harm reduction providers, including community health workers (i.e., outreach/inreach), counselors, doctors, nurses, and managers, to join the e-group.
