Senegalese Association for the Reduction of Infectious Harms (ASRDR)

The Senegalese Association for the Reduction of Infectious Harms (Association Sénégalaise de Réduction des Risques infectieux « ASRDR ») was created in February 2011 by social workers, doctors, psychiatrists and addictologists, as well as field outreach workers. The ASRDR aims to unite is members, animated by the same ideal of creating links of understanding and solidarity, lead on outreach work among hard-to-reach groups, reinforce intervention capabilities of strategic and financial partners to conduct a legal and measurable action, reduce infection risks among hard-to-reach groups, favour advocacy and dialogue based on providing services for hard-to-reach groups (people who use drugs, sex workers, MSM, etc.) and promote resocialisation spaces for hard-to-reach groups.
