UNAIDS–EMCDDA cooperation
A regular exchange of information exists between UNAIDS and the EMCDDA in the area of HIV/AIDS. Experts from both agencies attend expert meetings and collaborate in projects to ensure that the European data collection regarding injecting drug users (IDUs) and the global processes are in line.
The EMCDDA provides data and expertise to the Reference group to the UN on HIV and injecting drug use which is an advisory body for UNAIDS, UNODC and WHO.
The EMCDDA further collaborates with UNAIDS through European projects coordinated by ECDC (e.g. monitoring of the Dublin Declaration) and the European Commission (e.g. HIV/AIDS Think Tank) as well as in the organisation of conferences and meetings, e.g. the 5th European Conference on Clinical and Social Research on AIDS and Drugs.
