The report is based on 26 surveys completed by needle and syringe exchange projects (NSEPs) in the Russian Federation, interviews with NSEP staff and key informants, and other research. Main strengths of programs were considered to be: support from local authorities and institutions; caring attitude and pragmatic approach of NSEPs; international technical support and funding and peer education.
