Mission & Interests

Goals: The International Network of People who Use Drugs (INPUD) is a global peer-based organisation that seeks to promote the health and defend the rights of people who use drugs. INPUD will expose and challenge stigma, discrimination, and the criminalisation of people who use drugs and its impact on the drug-using community’s health and rights. INPUD will achieve this through processes of empowerment and advocacy at the international level, while supporting empowerment and advocacy at community, national and regional levels. INPUD is a movement of people who use drugs (current and former) who support the Vancouver Declaration. The Vancouver Declaration sets out the demands of people who use drugs, emphasising that their human rights must be respected and their health and wellbeing prioritised. INPUD is a global network that seeks to represent people who use drugs in international agencies such as the United Nations and with those undertaking international development work.

The CSFD was created in 2007 on the basis of the Commission Green Paper on the role of civil society in drugs policy in the EU. It is consistent with the EU Strategy on Drugs 2013-2020 and the new Action Plan on Drugs 2017-2020 both of which require the active and meaningful participation and involvement of civil society organisations (CSOs) in the development and implementation of drug policies, at national, EU and international level. We became members in 2018.

We respect and support the core European policies on health and drug use, as reflected in the EU Health and Drug Strategies and the EU Drug Action Plan 2017-2020. Correlation https://www.correlation-net.org/members/ EuroNPUD has developed its Peer Works! Webinar series and Peer Led Harm Reduction Show Case to draw attention to the impact and effectiveness of peer work. EuroNPUD partnered with MDM, INPUD and IRSCE to run the Global Peer Work Consultation involving a number of European partners and the EMCDDA. This highlights both the practice of community-led approaches and the background employment policies, values and principles that underpin this work.

Info Members: EuroNPUD Project Executive works half-time as a fixed term consultant & sits on the CSFD as the lead representative. EuroNPUD is currently implementing its Advocacy Capacity Building Programme which is training a team of EuroNPUD advocates to engage in the growing range of civil society participation opportunities. A pending training with CS partners involved in the CSFD working groups will result in another 4 volunteer advocates joining the different working groups inside the CSFD. This will strengthen the meaningful participation of people who use drugs in all spaces. In addition, technical consultants are recruited from EuroNPUD Country Partners to manage and deliver specialist thematic projects backed by technical support bundles of days. This drives practice from the country level supported by technical & creative partners on a range of thematic topics from OAT literacy & rights, to peer-led harm reduction, to drug policy reform, to women who use drugs.
