HRI, the Eurasian Harm Reduction Association and the Network of Asian People who Use Drugs collaborated on this briefing to support harm reduction advocates in Global Fund application processes for Grant Cycle 7 (2023-2025).

Global Fund Grant Cycle 7 (GC7) is an important opportunity for countries to access funding for comprehensive harm reduction services for people who use drugs and supportive structural interventions such as advocacy for legal and policy reform, including decrimalisation.

This briefing compiles key information to support advocacy for the inclusion of harm reduction within GC7 funding requests, including key data and evidence to support advocacy for harm reduction inclusion within Grant Cycle 7 processes.

This may be useful for organisations of people who use drugs and harm reduction advocates in your negotiations with decision makers, as well as members of the application writing teams and Country Coordinating Mechanisms (CCMs).
