INPUD have released a policy statement in response to the Conceptual Zero Draft Instrument.

The Conceptual Zero Draft Instrument is on pandemic prevention, preparedness and response (PPPR), and negotiations are currently underway for the finalization of the instrument.

INPUD have released a statement in reponse to the draft, discussing  the impacts of marginalisation and criminalisation, support for community-led and peer-based responses, strengthening policy and service delivery responses, and community engagement and accountability.

‘This statement is a response to the proposed new instrument from INPUD on behalf of people who use drugs globally and is informed by recent community-led research on PPPR among our networks and communities, as well as research conducted by INPUD during the Covid-19 pandemic.’
