* In the framework of this Action, the notion of harm reduction mainly refers to: low threshold walk-in centers where medical treatment and social services are provided to problematic drug users without the requirements that they immediately become drug-free; the use of street educators who will actively seek out and engage socially-excluded drug users in order to bring them into contact with medical and other services; and HIV/AIDS prevention. Specifically excluded from this project is the participation of OAS member governments in the financing, operations or facilitation of: a) safe injecting rooms, and b) medically-prescribed heroin. More broadly speaking, funds from this Action will not be used to finance activities that are not consistent with the laws of the member states of the OAS.
