CAHR Programme Officer Job in Kenya

Background

Community Action on Harm Reduction (CAHR) is a Dutch Government funded programme, to be implemented in China, India, Indonesia, Kenya, and Malaysia, that aims to make substantial contributions towards ensuring that injecting drug users, their partners and children are healthier, less marginalized and more engaged in social and community life.

Injecting drug use is increasingly recognized as a contributing factor to the spread of HIV in Kenya and HIV prevalence amongst people who inject drugs in Kenya is estimated at over 40%.

People who inject drugs are a high risk of contracting both HIV and viral hepatitis. They have poor access to HIV prevention treatment and care services and are particularly vulnerable to tuberculosis. Harm reduction, an approach that seeks to limit the harms associated with drug use, has been shown to reduce the biological, social and legal harms faced by drug users and their families.
