"Africa Policy Week 2023 is really a summit on what logic and compassion can achieve when relentlessly applied to see Human Rights honoured and Harm Reduction measures implemented."
In previous years, Drug Policy Week has brought together diverse representatives to talk about existing policies in South Africa, learn from local and international experts, hear the experiences and realities of community members, exchange lessons learned and provide suggestions for creating practical and efficient drug policies and approaches. In 2023 we expanded the conversation to other African countries and broadened the discussions about how we are all affected by good and bad policies to other key populations.
