COVID-19 and Differentiated Service Delivery 

ICAP is leveraging the CQUIN network to foster the real-time exchange of questions, resources, and lessons learned related to differentiated service delivery and COVID-19. We are hosting webinars, workshops, WhatsApp groups, and joint publications and will continue to support south-to-south exchange as network countries confront the COVID-19 pandemic. The resources below have been shared by members of the CQUIN learning network, and are intended to be useful but not comprehensive. They do not represent formal guidance from ICAP at Columbia or from CQUIN

DSD and COVID-19 Webinar Series

The weekly DSD COVID-19 webinar series was an engaging resource for the learning network and its partners, with active participation by Ministries of Health, national networks of people living with HIV, implementing partners, donors, and global agencies such as WHO and UNAIDS.

The webinars focused on the impact of COVID-19 on DSD models, and on the use of DSD approaches to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on health facilities and HIV programs.

The webinar series was jointly hosted by ICAP’s CQUIN project, the International AIDS Society, and the International Treatment Preparedness Coalition. Access the webinars at the link below.

COVID-19 and DSD Archive

In March 2020, CQUIN created a shared resources page to support the exchange of information and publications on COVID-19.
