The unintended consequences of the Nigerian drug law and policy on the health and human rights of young PWUDs

The first landmark report produced by Youth RISE Nigeria with the support of the Open Society Institute in West Africa and the CISHRWIN, is a wide-ranging study aiming to address the research gap in Nigeria around young people who use drugs and lack of documented evidence of the impact of the Nigeria's drug policy on the health and rights of young people who use drugs. The report draws on first-hand interviews and in depth policy analysis providing concrete recommendations for developing a more human rights focused Nigerian drug policy. The intent of the research is to provide a scientific basis for evidence informed advocacy and intervention.
