Our #StrategicPlan 2025–2029 is out.

Clear direction, strong priorities and a focus on building power for our community.

People who use drugs deserve rights and real influence — and this plan backs that.

Couldn't agree more with Anton, Executive Director of INPUD!

It should always start with us when it is about PWUD Health and Wellbeing! ✊️💜
Anton Basenko laid it out clearly yesterday:

If we don’t start with the community, we’re doing it wrong.

It’s time needle and syringe programmes started listening.
