Ukraine has approved a new National Drug Policy strategy, which aims to improve access to controlled medicines, expand harm reduction programmes, and provide support to marginalized populations.
IDPC is seeking a consultant to help secure the future of the Support. Don't Punish campaign by diversifying its funding base and strengthening donor engagement.
