The National DSD Coordinators Community of Practice (CoP) is a platform for the CQUIN Project Director and CQUIN country liaisons to provide technical support and mentorship to the DSD coordinators, including the exchange and review of tools and resources, peer-to-peer feedback, CQUIN-related updates, country updates, and planning for upcoming meetings.

Recently, this platform has expanded to include National HIV Testing leads and, occasionally, National Monitoring and Evaluation leads.

• Participants include an average of 30 to 35 people from the 21 CQUIN member countries.
• Dr. Peter Preko (CQUIN Principal Investigator and Project Director) is the technical lead, supported by Ms. Phephile Dlamini (Project Operations Coordinator).

• The CoP meets virtually every month for updates on CQUIN network activities and country DSD updates.
• Member countries use the platform to discuss CQUIN operational strategies concerning meetings and country engagement.
• Member countries also use the platform to give feedback to the CQUIN team.
• Other CQUIN CoPs also use this platform to help propagate information and coordinate country activities related to the CoPs.
• The platform facilitates the swift exchange of DSD-related policy documents, guidelines, country standard operating procedures, and monitoring and evaluation tools used in the network countries.
