Fund Our Work
Your support powers global harm reduction.
Our work would not be possible without the support of our donors and partners. Every contribution strengthens our ability to promote human rights, public health, and evidence-based harm reduction worldwide.
Through our global monitoring of harm reduction, tracking of the death penalty for drug offences, and analysis of funding trends, we provide the data that drives accountability and advances reform. Our research has transformed the collective ability of governments, donors and advocates to shape better policies grounded in health and human rights.
Partnering with us
Our strong track record, sound financial management, and strategic partnerships make us a trusted and effective funding and implementation partner.
Convening the movement
We are proud hosts of the Harm Reduction International Conference.
The Harm Reduction International Conference has helped to put harm reduction on the map for over thirty years. We platform thought leaders, amplify advocacy for change, and shine a light on local innovations in harm reduction.
Building on more than three decades of experience hosting the Harm Reduction International Conference, we have developed expertise in convening, facilitating, and hosting global events that bring together decision-makers, practitioners, and advocates.
Other convenings:
-
Handover Dialogue on the Right to Health – with incoming and outgoing UN Special Rapporteurs, in partnership with the Human Rights Centre at the University of Essex.
-
Judicial Dialogue on Drug Policy Reform – high-level regional meeting with judges from Indonesia and neighbouring countries, co-hosted with LBH Masyarakat.

Constellations: An Online Festival of Drugs and Harm Reduction – a virtual gathering connecting advocates, researchers, and communities worldwide.

working with networks to amplify impact
We collaborate with networks that amplify the impact of harm reduction, justice reform, and rights-based advocacy.
We host the Lawyering on the Margins Network. In 2023, we convened a global meeting of around 40 lawyers and human rights defenders working on access to justice for key populations, in collaboration with partner organisationations, StreetLaw PH and IDU Care. The meeting fostered collaboration and peer learning as part of the Lawyering on the Margins network.
We also host the South Asia and Middle East (SAME) Network. Together with partner organisation, Justice Project Pakistan, we brought together death penalty abolitionists from South Asia and the Middle East for a strategic meeting aimed at advancing reform and strengthening advocacy across the region.
