Banda DAPCU's Response - June 2012 Theme - Social Benefit Schemes for PLHIV and HRG


DAPCU Support
  • Sensitising district level officials on the programme and clearing roadblocks through interactions with the line departments
  • DAPCU participates in various district level meetings , forums and campaigns and through these tries to sensitise stake holders on the concerns of PLHIV
  • Collates information and reports to NACO and SACS
District Administrations Role
Providing space and addressing concerns bought by DAPCU and DIC regarding PLHIV and Social benefit Schemes.

DLN's Role
  • Listing PLHIV and encouraging them to avail schemes
  • Sensitising block level SHGs
  • Collection of application and relevant documents and submission to relevant departments
  • Supporting needy PLHIV in getting travel allowance through the UPNPP
  • Advocacy meetings with line departments
  • Follow up till the benefit is received by the applicants 
Role of LACs and ICTCs
Refer PLHIV interested  in social benefit schemes to DAPCU and DLN

Challenges
  • Limited schemes for OBCs and some religious minorities
  • Only BPL can benefit from Schemes
  • There are no special provisions or preferences given to PLHIV.
  • Some officials in the administration do not extend sensitivity or priority
  • Some applications need to be made at the district level , which for some PLHIV means a travel of 90-100 kms. This too serves as a deterrent
