In 2017, ICAP at Columbia University launched the HIV Coverage, Quality, and Impact Network (CQUIN)—a multi-country learning network funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and dedicated to improving differentiated service delivery (DSD) for people living with HIV in sub-Saharan Africa.
Over two years, CQUIN has grown from six to eleven countries (as of December 2018). The network continues to receive strong support from ministries of health, implementing partners, recipients of care, civil society, and other stakeholders. In 2018, CQUIN welcomed Côte d’Ivoire and Tanzania to the network. Country teams made 11 south-to-south exchange visits, and CQUIN convened three all-network member meetings, bringing together over 300 professionals to learn, co-create, and exchange best practices. CQUIN also hosted a four-country QI for DSD workshop and a satellite session at AIDS2018, supported vibrant online communities of practice, and supported countries to co-create a framework for monitoring and evaluation of DSD at the national level.
