Counting services tells us what is available. It does not necessarily tell us who can actually access them.

Distance, cost, stigma, discrimination, restrictive requirements, inconvenient operating hours and fear of mistreatment can all stand between a person and the healthcare they need.

That is why programs must look beyond availability and examine the real barriers communities experience when trying to access services.

Access is not only about opening the door. It is about whether people can safely walk through it.

If harm reduction is to work for people, it cannot be built around a single intervention.

People who use drugs have different health needs, circumstances and priorities. A meaningful response must therefore provide multiple pathways to care, including community outreach, overdose prevention, HIV and hepatitis services, treatment, psychosocial support and wider health and social services.

The measure of a strong harm reduction response is not simply whether one service exists. It is whether people can access the combination of care and support that responds to their realities, without judgement, coercion or exclusion.

Harm reduction must meet people where they are and remain responsive to what they need.

Harm reduction is not effective simply because a service exists.

It must be accessible to the people who need it, responsive to their realities and delivered without stigma or discrimination.

And the people most affected cannot remain at the end of the process as beneficiaries. People who use drugs bring lived expertise that should inform how harm reduction programs are designed, delivered, monitored and evaluated.

For Africanpud, effective harm reduction means putting people, dignity and community leadership at the center of the response.

Join us for a Community Dialogue Space where INPUD will launch the Community Brief: Not another red herring! Full decriminalisation of all drugs is non-negotiable. The brief is designed specifically by and for the community of people who use drugs, highlighting and emphasising INPUD’s positions and statements on the different aspects of drug decriminalisation, drawn from the recently launched A Guidance Note: Decriminalization of drug use in the context of HIV, developed jointly by INPUD, UNAIDS, UNDP, Release, and the International Centre on Human Rights and Drug Policy.

This is a community-speakers-only webinar — we will preserve the space for our expertise, experiences and untold stories. We will reclaim the safe space once again, so we can speak freely and not worry about using politically correct language. And we will dedicate this space to all the lives lost due to decades of oppression and repressive laws and policies that were designed based on one of the most catastrophic global propagandas: the illusion of a "drug-free world society” and the justification for "the war on drugs".

Join us for an interactive dialogue, debate, challenge to misconceptions, reality check and accountability to our own global movement. This is not just a webinar. These are people who use drugs!

What does sustained investment in community-led networks make possible?

Since joining Africanpud in 2019, MozPUD has strengthened its role as a national network of people who use drugs in Mozambique, participating in regional research, advocacy, learning and publications, while building stronger engagement with institutions and decision-makers.

Through flexible core support from the Robert Carr civil society Networks Fund to AfricaNPUD and the wider Consortium of People Who Use Drugs, networks like MozPUD are better positioned to organise, advocate and bring community priorities into spaces where policies and programmes affecting people who use drugs are discussed.

This support has helped strengthen advocacy on harm reduction, community participation and drug policy, while creating opportunities for engagement with government and other national stakeholders.

For AfricaNPUD, this is critical.

Service delivery is only one part of an effective harm reduction response. Communities also need the resources, capacity and space to challenge stigma, influence policy, engage institutions and hold systems accountable.

That is why investment in community-led networks matters.

We acknowledge the Robert Carr Fund for its continued support to AfricaNPUD and the wider movement of people who use drugs.

In Zanzibar, Africanpud member organisation ZANPUD marked International Overdose Awareness Day through an engagement at a methadone clinic, highlighting the continued importance of overdose prevention and harm reduction services for people who use drugs.

The engagement reflects the critical role of community-led organisations in ensuring responses are informed by lived experience, grounded in dignity and responsive to the realities of the people most affected.

AfricaNPUD continues to amplify the leadership of its member organisations in advancing health, rights and harm reduction across the region.

Across Africa, community-led organisations are ensuring that the realities, priorities and expertise of people who use drugs are heard where decisions and investments are shaped.

In Mozambique, African Network of People Who Use Drugs member organisation MOZPUD welcomed the Norad team for an engagement focused on community experiences, implementation challenges and the continued need to strengthen accessible, rights-based services for people who use drugs.

For AfricaNPUD, engagements like this are critical. Stronger responses begin when communities are recognised not simply as beneficiaries, but as partners whose knowledge and leadership must inform policy, programming and investment.

We commend MOZPUD for advancing this dialogue and strengthening the voice of people who use drugs in Mozambique.

Across the region, we remain committed to ensuring that community leadership is recognised, resourced and meaningfully included.

NNPUD member organisations took the conversation directly to key institutions, engaging National Drug Law Enforcement Agency - NDLEA and NHRC Nigeria on the health, rights and dignity of people who use drugs.

Across these engagements, advocates called for improved access to healthcare and legal support, protection from rights violations, and reform of punitive drug laws that continue to undermine harm reduction efforts in Nigeria.

The engagements formed part of the 2026 Support. Don't Punish. Global Day of Action, with support from International Drug Policy Consortium.

Across Nigeria, the Nigeria Network of People Who Use Drugs (NNPUD) and its member organisations marked the 2026 Support Don’t Punish Global Day of Action through advocacy, community sensitisation and engagement with key institutions.

Activities across Cross River, Lagos, Edo, Ebonyi, Kaduna and Nasarawa amplified a clear call: punitive drug policies must give way to approaches that protect human rights, promote access to healthcare and uphold the dignity of people who use drugs.

From engagement with drug law enforcement and human rights institutions to community-led advocacy, NNPUD continues to push for drug policies centred on people, health and rights.

Africanpud is proud to spotlight the work of our network in Nigeria.

Today, on International Overdose Awareness Day, remembers every person who has died from an overdose.

They were not statistics. They were family members, friends, peers and valued members of our communities. We honour their lives and stand with everyone carrying the grief of their loss.

Remembrance must lead to action. Overdose deaths are preventable. We call for wider access to naloxone, evidence-based harm reduction services and respectful healthcare without stigma or discrimination.

Every life matters. Time to remember. Time to act.
