International Network of People Who use Drugs - Bridging the Gaps Within the Alliance partnership, INPUD brings in the unique perspective people who use drugs in the design, planning and implementation of the BTG programme. INPUD is part of the Harm reduction project, together with AFEW and Mainline. At country and regional level we contribute to the end goal of the project by supporting providing capacity six national level drug user networks and a regional level drug user network to participate in mechanisms for civil society, to advocate for right-based services and to input into service planning and evaluation in their respective contexts. The INPUD project is implemented in Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa, Indonesia, Nepal, Georgia and in the Eastern European and Central Asian region. We provide direct capacity building and support through several activities: - Community development - Advocacy for right-based and gender sensitive HIV prevention, treatment and care services for people who use drugs - Financial assistance aimed to help our partners to implement the abovementioned activities At global level, we formulate our positions based on community consultations and we use them to inform our advocacy in international spaces. INPUD demands that the community perspective is taken into account in designing interventions aimed to end the epidemic among people who use drugs. We build partnerships aimed to strengthen the role of people who use drugs in processes and mechanisms which influence access to resources, services and uphold human rights.
Bridging the Gaps: Georgian Network of People who Use Drugs Georgia is one of the countries with the harshest drug policies in the Eastern European and Central Asian region. In the same time, the country is host of strong, progressive grass-root movements which advocate for social change, civil rights and the end of the war on drugs. In a geopolitical landscape dominated by the Russian Federation, Georgia took steps which go against the regional trend, for instance in what concerns evidence-based harm reduction interventions which are still controversial in neighbouring countries. One example is opiate assisted therapy, which is now part of the national treatment system. Georgia endorses harm reduction interventions. While maintaining a hard line on drugs, Georgia has decriminalised the possession of cannabis. BtG aims to facilitate community development by: 1. Building of national PWUD network; Facilitating community development on advocacy. 2. Advocating for the continuous strengthening of services and upholding human rights for young people who use drugs.  5. Implementing an efficient and high-quality Needle and Syringe Programme; 6. Foster global and in-country processes and partnerships that reinforce results. 7. Improving partnerships in-country with other NGOs, government, and organisations that can assist in (data) management systems. People who use drugs
Bridging the Gaps: Indonesia - Rights based HIV and SRHR response Despite the fact that HIV prevalence in the general population is still low, Indonesia has one of the fastest growing infection rates in Asia because it lags behind in some essential aspects of prevention, such as low use of condoms and insufficient utilisation of services, and the weak capability in policy implementation. The 2015 Integrated Biological-Behavioral Surveillance (IBBS) results shows the highest HIV prevalence is in the group of injecting drug users, but prevalence has decreased; a prevalence of 52.4% in 2007 and 28.78% in 2015. BtG aims to strengthen civil society organisations’ ability to: 1. Provide paralegal services to make sure people are aware of their rights after arrest and to guarantee access to their legal rights in Indonesia.2. Building the capacity of civil society on service delivery. 3. We advocate for the continuously strengthening of services and upholding human rights. 4. Conducting research into the treatment center-system of Indonesia. 5. Conducting a follow-up study around crystal-meth use in Indonesia. 6. Deliver inclusive, rights-based and gender sensitive services 7. Developing new services for young PWUD aimed at overdose prevention and preventing switching from smoking to injecting drugs. 8. Piloting a project directed at crystal-meth users based on previously conducted research on sexual risk behaviours.
Bridging the Gaps: Nepal - Addressing Human rights, Advocacy, Access to Reproductive and Sexual Health Services. In Nepal, prejudice and discriminatory attitudes towards key populations hinder access to health services, especially those seeking STI and antiretroviral treatment, or need other drug services than rehabilitation. People who use drugs face punitive legal environments and human rights abuses, are socially marginalised and experience discriminatory attitudes when they try to access medical care, find employment or simply get by. Women who use drugs are a hidden population, often victims of domestic abuse and police violence. Harm reduction services have been introduced almost two decades ago, but they are still funded from international sources and the whole sector is marked by the instability of funding, making achievements look rather frail. BtG aims to facilitate community development by: 1. Building of national PWUD network; Facilitating community development on advocacy. 2. Advocating for the continuous strengthening of services and upholding human rights.3. Using evidence from the Human Rights Count (HRC) report on PWUD living with HIV (BtG 1) to build an advocacy campaign, and push for legislative and programmatic changes to ensure that the health and human rights needs of PLHIV drug users are advanced. 4. Deliver inclusive, rights-based and gender sensitive services 5. Implementing an efficient and high-quality Needle and Syringe Programme in Kathmandu Valley. 6. Conducting size estimation of IDU’s in Kathmandu Valley and conducting effective outreach; 7. Training outreach workers on thematic skills and pilot outreach methods in the field. 8. Foster global and in-country processes and partnerships that reinforce results. 9. Improving partnerships in-country with other NGOs, government, the Health Council, and organisations that can assist in (data) management systems.
Bridging the Gaps: South Africa - Sustainable funding of inclusive community-based services. INPUD Despite having the seventh highest per capita income in Africa, poverty and inequality are widespread in South-Africa. There are still many gaps to be covered regarding the assistance for people who use drugs (PWUD). It is estimated that there are 67,000 injecting drug users in South Africa. Little reliable data exists on the prevalence of HIV and Hepatitis C among injecting drug users. According to the report ‘the Global State of Harm Reduction 2014’ HIV prevalence is around 19.4%. With the number of injecting drug users rising in a generalised HIV epidemic, the need for comprehensive harm reduction services are enormous. In general, harm reduction services have not yet played a significant role in South Africa’s response to drug use or HIV, since the majority of services remain solely abstinence focused. With rampant violence against people who use drugs, our project aims to both set up harm reduction services and slowly work to improving the human rights of people who use drugs.
Bridging the Gaps: Kenya - Addressing Human Rights & Advocacy There are approximately 1,500,000 people living with HIV in Kenya. The HIV prevalence among the PUD community is at 18.7%. To successfully reduced HIV incidence of PUD in Kenya there must be a focus on upholding human rights and reducing stigma and discrimination, this is key in ensuring that PUD have access to specialist health care and harm reduction services. This programme aims to reduce the incidence of HIV among PUD in Kenya through; 1. Strengthening peer-led country networks by offering technical support. 2. Running workshops addressing human rights and advocacy. 3. Developing action plans to tackle vigilante violence. PUD community living in Kenya.

Recovery through Improved Systems and Expenditure Support Program (Subprogram 2) The Recovery through Improved Systems and Expenditure Support (RISES) Program comprises two subprograms supporting public sector management reforms that will facilitate Palau's recovery from the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) crisis. Subprogram 2 deepens and implements reforms initiated under subprogram 1, which was approved on 23 April 2021. Overall, the program seeks to (i) strengthen the policy and legislative framework for public financial management; (ii) reduce fiscal risks from weak management of public revenue, expenditure, and liabilities; and (iii) support private sector development, toward restoring sustained and equitable economic growth. Under subprogram 2, ADB supports 10 prior actions, all of which have been completed. The proposed budget support amount is $30 million (regular OCR) under subprogram 2 in FY2022, which along with the $25 million ($20 million COL and $5 million OCR) approved under subprogram 1, brings ADB's total financing under this program to $55 million.

Although Palau demonstrated sound macro-fiscal management by maintaining annual fiscal surpluses averaging 3.0% of GDP during FY2011FY2019, the lingering impacts of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic have heightened fiscal risks that can constrain sustainable recovery. Recognizing these risks, the government has developed an ambitious reform agenda comprising critical policy reforms to, among others: develop an overarching fiscal responsibility legislation and a corresponding medium-term fiscal strategy; implement a comprehensive tax reform package to modernize and increase the efficiency of Palau's tax system; and strengthen the legal and institutional frameworks for international commercial arbitration, public-private partnerships, and business registrations. The RISES Program aligns with and supports government's broad-ranging reform agenda to help shift Palau's economic recovery onto a more sustainable path.
North Pacific Regional Connectivity Investment Project The North Pacific Regional Connectivity Investment Project is included in the Country Operations Business Plan: Palau, 2014-2016 which was approved by Management on 21 October 2013. The total project cost is estimated at $45.0 million equivalent. ADB will finance $22.5 million comprising $13.97 million from ADB's ordinary capital resources and $8.53 million from Asian Development Funds resources. It does not include a separate project preparatory technical assistance. Therefore, project preparatory activities will be divided between ADB and the World Bank. ADB activities include economic, social, and safeguards assessments and will be covered by TA 8257-REG: Results-Based Strategy and Sector Planning in the Pacific with allocated budget of $325,000 and PARD Staff Consultant inputs.
Strengthening Fiscal Resilience for Sustainable Development Program, Subprogram 1 The program will implement reforms to enhance fiscal and environmental sustainability as Palau emerges from the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. It will improve fiscal discipline and strengthen the strategic allocation of resources, while comprehensively building climate change mitigation and adaptation into planning and budget execution. Subprogram 1 introduces new policies and practices to strengthen national and subnational public financial management (PFM) and support climate-resilient and sustainable growth.
Koror-Airai Sanitation Project The project will provide priority sanitation infrastructure identified in the Koror-Airai Sanitation Master Plan (KASMP).
COVID-19: Response for Affected Poor and Vulnerable Groups Project The project aims to address the needs of poor and vulnerable groups affected by the coronavirus disease (COVID-19). It will take a comprehensive approach to address the complex and varying levels of vulnerabilities affecting marginalized populations. All outputs are aligned with the  common objective of improving the capability of vulnerable groups to withstand the impacts of COVID-19 by providing immediate assistance to these groups while positioning them to achieve higher levels of economic and social well-being post-COVID-19. The project will (i) respond to the immediate physical, mental, social, and environmental needs of home-bound older people  and persons with disabilities (PWD) who are highly vulnerable to COVID-19; (ii) boost local food security and help smallholder agriculture producers generate income; and (iii) help address family and gender-based violence.
COVID-19: Pacific Disaster Resilience Program, Phase 3 The proposed contingent disaster financing (CDF) program will improve the resilience of the participating Asian Development Bank (ADB) Pacific developing member countries (DMCs) to disasters triggered by natural hazards and health emergencies. It will support policy actions strengthening resilience to disasters and provide a source of financing for timely emergency response and early recovery. The program is the third phase of the Pacific Disaster Resilience Program; the first phase was approved in December 2017 for Samoa, Tonga, and Tuvalu, and the second phase in September 2019 for FSM, RMI, Solomon Islands, and Tonga. In addition, ADB set up country-specific CDF programs for Cook Islands and Palau. Phase 3 will provide (i) another round of financing for (a) countries that drew down their CDF programs for the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic (the Cook Islands, FSM, RMI, Palau, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga); and (b)Tuvalu, which drew down the funds in February 2020 in response to Cyclone Tino; and (ii) CDF for the first time for Kiribati and Vanuatu.
Recovery through Improved Systems and Expenditure Support Program (Subprogram 1) The program comprises two subprograms supporting public sector management reforms that  will  facilitate Palau’s recovery  from  the  coronavirus  disease  (COVID-19)  crisis.  It seeks  to  strengthen public  financial  management  (PFM),  reduce  fiscal  risks,  and  support  private  sector  development toward restoring sustained and equitable economic growth. The program will also provide further support for Palau’s COVID-19 mitigation measures—initially supported under the Asian Development Bank (ADB) Health Expenditure and Livelihoods Support Program—with the availability of assistance having been extended beyond January 2021 (para. 5). The program is aligned  with  ADB’s  Strategy  2030  operational  priorities  of  strengthening  governance  and  institutional capacity, including a differentiated approach to institutional strengthening and private sector  development  in  small  island  developing  states  (para.  9),  and  accelerating  progress  in  gender equality. It is also consistent with the Pacific Approach, 2016–2020 strategic priorities of managing risks by promoting sound public sector management and reducing costs by creating a more enabling business environment, as well as with the proposed Pacific Approach 2021–2025.
Palau Public Utilities Corporation Reform Program (Subprogram 2) The program aims to strengthen state-owned enterprises in Palau by improving the corporate governance and financial management of Palau?s electricity and water utility company, Palau Public Utilities Corporation, and providing an enabling environment for private sector participation in the electricity and water subsectors in Palau. The program will support the government?s long-term reforms in electricity and water and sanitation.
COVID-19: Health Expenditure and Livelihoods Support Program The Health Expenditure and Livelihoods Support (HEALS) Program under the Countercyclical Support Facility COVID-19 pandemic response option (CPRO) aims to support the government’s response to the potentially devastating health and economic impacts of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), including though increased health sector spending and sustained funding for social protection programs.
COVID-19: Disaster Resilience Program The Government of Palau has requested financial assistance from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) for the Disaster Resilience Program to help better manage the fiscal risk arising from disasters. A single-tranche standalone policy-based loan (PBL) has been requested to enable the government to rapidly access critical fiscal resources in the event of a natural disaster. Withdrawal will be deferred until the occurrence of a disaster triggered by a natural hazard, and funds will be used to help meet short-term post-disaster recovery needs. The proposed PBL will support the government's continuing efforts to improve disaster resilience through a series of reform initiatives. To establish eligibility to access the contingent financing, the government has undertaken prior policy actions that (i) strengthen institutional arrangements for disaster risk management (DRM); (ii) improve the disaster resilience of physical assets; and (iii) expand disaster risk financing.
Palau Public Utilities Corporation Reform Program (Subprogram 1) The proposed Palau Public Utilities Corporation Reform program aims to strengthen the corporate governance and financial management of Palau's water and electricity utility company, Palau Public Utilities Corporation (PPUC), and improve electricity market by supporting tariff reforms. The programmatic approach is proposed through policy-based loans to finance two subprograms during 20202022. The programmatic approach will (i) confirm sequencing of reforms and investment projects in coordination with the IMF and other partners, (ii) ensure long-term continued engagement as the reforms are multi-fold and require multiple years to implement and yield results, (iii) facilitate provision of advisory and analytical assistance to support implementation of reforms, and (v) adjust the size of respective subprograms with the pace of implementation. Transaction technical assistance (TA) will facilitate program implementation, including providing technical advice to and building the capacity of the Ministry of Finance (MoF) and PPUC.
Water Sector Improvement Program The program will support reform of the water and sanitation sector, with a focus on improving policy and legal frameworks, financial sustainability, and capacity development.
