"The objectives are
• to increase knowledge and understanding of the issues related to greater involvement of people who use illegal drugs in the response to HIV/AIDS and HCV by governments, funders, and non-governmental organizations in countries around the world;
• to increase the capacity of non-governmental organizations and governmental stakeholders to involve people who use illegal drugs more often and more meaningfully; and
• to increase the involvement of people who use illegal drugs, including in the development of better policy responses to HIV/AIDS and HCV."
