1.Context
Médecins du Monde (MdM) is an independent non-governmental organization of active activists who treat, testify and support social change, in France and internationally. For 40 years, we have been working with the most vulnerable people and their communities to remove the obstacles they encounter in accessing health.
Brief presentation of the project
The Risk Reduction (RdR) program for People Using Drugs (PUD), launched in 2015 by Médecins du Monde in Abidjan, improved access to care for PUDs in precarious situations. After a first phase focused on advocacy and Outreach, the second phase (2018) contributed to strengthening community roots, introducing opioid substitution treatments (OST) and opening a Support Center in Abidjan and Addictology Care. The third phase made it possible to expand the provision of care in Yamoussoukro, Bouaké and San Pedro, consolidating the achievements and promoting the empowerment of local partners. In April 2024, a fourth regional phase started in Togo and Benin to disseminate RdR expertise and support the fight against HIV and tuberculosis.
Médecins du Monde wishes to develop an interactive e-learning module intended for professionals working in specialized centers delivering opioid agonist (OAT) treatments. This project emerged at the request of doctors working in several centers in West Africa during meetings of the community of practice group.
On the occasion of the implementation of the regional project for the dissemination of RdR expertise in French-speaking Africa (Togo/Benin), financed by L’Initiative – Expertise France, this ambition is taken into account.
