1. Context
Doctors of the World France (MdM-F) is an independent organization of active volunteers who provide care, bear witness, and support social change, both in France and internationally. For 40 years, we have been committed to supporting the most vulnerable people and their communities to remove the barriers they face in accessing healthcare.
Brief presentation of the project
The Harm Reduction (HR) program for People Who Use Drugs (PWID), launched in 2015 by Doctors of the World France in Abidjan, has worked to improve access to care for PWID living in precarious situations. After an initial phase focused on advocacy and outreach, the second phase (2018) helped strengthen community engagement, introduce opioid substitution therapy (OST), and open an Addiction Support and Care Center in Abidjan. The third phase expanded the range of services to Yamoussoukro, Bouaké, and San Pedro, consolidating achievements and empowering local partners. In April 2024, a fourth regional phase began in Togo and Benin to disseminate HR expertise and support the fight against HIV and tuberculosis.
A capitalisation approach is being implemented to enhance this unique experience in the sub-region and guide the next phases of the programme.
It is part of Doctors of the World’s Global MEAL Framework, which aims to structure documentation, learning, and the sharing of experiences according to international standards (OECD-DAC, CHS, ISO 9001). This capitalization will generate evidence for advocacy, support the continuous improvement of interventions, and inform Doctors of the World’s strategic thinking.
