Distribution of condoms, needle & syringes to all HRGs

Condom Distribution, Needle & syringes: 

Whenever any shortage of condoms is noticed in any TI NGO, DAPCU coordinated with other TI NGOs or ICTC Centres for availability of condoms where required. DAPCU also co-ordinated with DSACS for smooth supply of needles and syringes to TI NGO. DAPCU team is also involved in verification of needle and syringes supply to IDUs with Program Officers of TSU.

Does DAPCU support TIs in accessing the district administration? Are there any good practices related to getting social benefit schemes for PLHIV.

 

Accessing District Administration for Social Schemes: 

During the monthly DAPCU Review meeting all the TI issues were addressed at DAPCU level and DAPCU has also provided the information of social welfare benefit schemes available in our district to all TI NGOs in the district.
