Evidence for action series
Technical papers and policy briefs on HIV/AIDS and injecting drug users
|
WHO has reviewed the scientific evidence for the effectiveness of the key components of the comprehensive package of interventions in the Evidence for action (E4A) series. This series consists of two types of documents, technical papers and policy briefs.
- The E4A policy briefs can be used for advocacy purposes for policy makers regarding the importance of these interventions. They are available in a number of languages and will be translated into more.
- The E4A technical papers summarise the evidence in more detail and will be useful for service providers and planners.
