“With the Government of Fiji’s commitment to harm minimization, the balanced approach adopted in this strategy document is to guide its actions—strategies on demand reduction, supply reduction, and harm reduction that were adopted from the UNDOC framework recommendations on prevention and treatment to the Special Sessions of the UN General Assembly on the world drug problem in 2016.”
