Description
The Procurement Section of the United Nations Office at Vienna (UNOV) will be issuing a tender for the provision of support services for two consecutive study tours to Frankfurt, Germany from 9 to 15 May 2010.
To help the Russian Government deal with the twin epidemics of HIV and injecting drug use (IDU), the United Nations on Drugs and Crime Office for the Russian Federation (CORUS) is promoting drug/HIV policies which are informed by science, and programmes and practices, which have been rigorously evaluated. As part of this process, CORUS is encouraging Russian policy makers and practitioners to review its policy and practices pertaining to the provision of the comprehensive package for injecting drug users.
Against this background, CORUS has, over the past three years, organized study tours to a number of countries in an attempt to stimulate interest among Russian officials and trigger a more informed debate in political and professional circles on the topics itemized above. These study tours have given the Russian participants opportunities to meet senior policy makers and practitioners and visit drug treatment centres, police stations, and civil society organizations (CSOs) involved in HIV and drug prevention work.
As part of its ongoing activities with the Russian government, CORUS would like to organize two back-to-back study visits:
