Angul Response to theme - Coordination between DAPCUs

Co-ordination among staff of a DAPCU and among DAPCUs is essential to achieve the desired goals i.e.  Getting to zero (Zero HIV transmission, Zero Stigma –discrimination & Zero AIDS related death).

There are 7  DAPCU functioning in Odisha. Coordination among DAPCUs of different district is carried out from the beginning of the establishment of DAPCU i.e. from- November 2008 onward. In the  beginning each staff of one  DAPCU  District  co-ordinates with counterparts of other  District DAPCU Staff for the establishment DAPCU, Specially regarding number of files, maintenance/ organizing DAPCC meeting/ DCC meeting/ Data compilation etc.

What are the issues on which DAPCUs support each other and how is the co-ordination achieved?


  • In case of one DAPCU district misses any letter/ or communication from OSACS/NACO etc., the other DAPCU districts forwards/ informs the same letter/ communication through Email/Phone etc.
  • In case of any form provided by OSACS BBSR to DAPCU district is missed the other DAPCU district forwards the scan copy of the same to the concerned DAPCU district.


What role do the SACS play in enhancing this coordination?

In time intervals the OSACS, organizes DAPCU review meetings/ trainings etc in which all DAPCUs staffs share their feeling/ achievements problems etc by which we get a lesson and accordingly we prepare/ modify our plans/ activities etc.

Recently OSACS, had organized one exposure visit to Bangalore and DPM Ganjam and Angul visited Bangalore on 28th to 29th January 2013. In _ Mysore they met the DAPCU Staff of Mysore and collected various information about their activities.

 Share a few examples on which you have taken the support of other DAPCU and how it has helped you?


  • DAPCU Bhadrak mobilized one ILR (Ice Line Refrigerator) from FAKKOR Company. DPM DAPCU Bhadrak was able to mobilize the same ILR, as he discussed the “HIV  Kits”  preservation problems in DAPCC meeting and Collector and District Magistrate  of Bhadrak instructed  FAKKER Company to provide the same to DAPCU Bhadrak.  Accordingly DPM DAPCU Angul also discussed the same kits preservation problem in DAPCC meeting and Collector and District Magistrate instructed to  Executive Director of JSPL to provide the same to DAPCU, Angul and it is under process.
