ICAP at Columbia University (ICAP) leads the multi-country CQUIN learning network, funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. CQUIN aims to enable participating countries to improve the quality and coverage of HIV services, through provision of technical assistance to Ministries of Health and other partners engaged in the design, implementation, and evaluation of differentiated HIV programs, by exchanging knowledge and best practices, co-creating resources, and receiving targeted technical assistance (TA) to accelerate the scale-up of high-quality differentiated HIV services.
