This post is in response to the April theme

According to Training Module of DAPCU (NACO) Page 4 of 38 “DAPCU is operating within District HIV / AIDS Prevention and Control Committee. It is envisaged that it is part of the District Health Society eventually, sharing the administrative and financial structures of NRHM. The unit reports to and work through the District Collector and the Chief Medical Officer of the District for medical interventions, it will also be responsible for non-health related activities such as Adolescent Education Program, District campaigns, advocacy and mainstreaming and, M & E. These activities are carried out through the office of the District Collector or Zilla Panchayat”, so it the moral responsibility of DAPCU to inform the new District Collector about HIV/ AIDS Program in the District.

The District Collector is not transferred. So, DAPCU has not faced any problem regarding this.  If new District Collector joins the District, the District Program Manager with the help of DACO and CDMO will personally meet the District Collector (with prior appointment) and use the spacial map and District Dash Board prepared by DAPCU to explain following:

• Brief about the DAPCU structure and roles / responsibilities of DAPCU.
