Harm Reduction Drug Project Uzbekistan - Contact Netz

As can be seen from the organisational chart, our model project is solidly grounded
at the strategic and operational levels. It is essential to its success that this new
project should be well integrated into and supported by the relevant institutions and
this is ensured by the Steering Committee in Switzerland, through the
representatives of the SFOPH, the SDC and the DFA (PA I). The Steering
Committee is particularly important at the strategic level in Uzbekistan. The
combination of representatives of the Swiss Embassy and the SDC, and, on the
Uzbek side, representatives of the Ministries of Health, Justice and the Police has
proven its worth as a sustainable and integrative model, and the basis for a solid
exchange and learning process.
The presence of experts on the Steering Committee is essential. The successes
and failures of the project, its opportunities and its limitations become clear through
the regular discussions that take place both in the Committee and in the ministries
about the objectives and values involved in combating drug abuse and in a policy
on drugs. The organisational chart (above) reflects the project’s breadth and
integrative power.
