This report has been developed by Correlation – European Harm Reduction Network (C-EHRN) in cooperation with the Rights Reporter Foundation (RRF). The report summarises the findings of a study conducted in 2023 which assessed the level and quality of civil society involvement in drug policies in four countries: Finland, Ireland, Greece and Hungary.

In 2021, the Civil Society Forum on Drugs (CSFD) established guiding principles for meaningful civil society involvement in decision-making regarding drug policy. These principles were published in the Quality Standards for Civil Society Involvement in Drug Policy. The four case studies assess the implementation of these standards.
