Article Synopsis
- Opioid agonist therapy (OAT) programs in Eastern Europe and Central Asia face sustainability challenges due to reduced funding from international sources like the Global Fund, prompting a need to assess current status and risks.
- The study evaluated OAT sustainability in Belarus, Moldova, Tajikistan, and Ukraine through qualitative data collection, including interviews and focus groups, focusing on policy, finance, and service dimensions.
- Findings revealed varying levels of OAT sustainability, with Ukraine showing the most progress, while Tajikistan faced significant risks; improvements were noted in areas like service accessibility and financial resources, but human resources showed minimal or negative development.
