TS Hub Kiev provides technical support to AIDS Care China (a new country partner of CAHR project in China) on development of Peer Driven Intervention (PDI). This specially designed outreach model helps to target the hardest to reach groups of people who use drugs and employs peer education concept to raise clients’ awareness about the risks and harms of drug use.

As a first step in developing the intervention, Lu Liu and Qiu Feng (AIDS Care China) together with Pavlo Smyrnov and Oksana Matiyash (TS Hub Kiev) delivered a workshop for 14 representatives from partner organisations of AIDS Care China.

Peer Driven Intervention will be implemented in four sites: Ruili, Xindu, Jiuni and Jiegao. PDI projects are expected to establish a link between underserved active people who inject drugs and harm reduction services available in local sites.
