The goal of the program in Cote dIvoire is to provide technical assistance to the government of Cote dIvoire to improve its capacity to reduce the morbidity and mortality of people living with HIV/AIDS and prevent HIV infection in newborns by increasing access to high-quality prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) and care and treatment services and increasing access to cervical cancer prevention for women living with HIV.

The objectives of the program include the following:

1. By Year 2, the Ministry of Health and AIDS (MoH) and CDC/PEPFAR implementing partners have the capacity to improve access to and uptake of quality cervical cancer screening services for HIV-infected women.

2. By Year 3, the grantee has assisted the MoH to develop, implement, and evaluate an integrated chronic care model for HIV infection, along with other chronic diseases, for each level of the health pyramid.

3. By Year 5, the MoH has a demonstrated capacity to plan and scale up effective integrated HIV PMTCT, HIV testing and counseling, and care and treatment services within the existing health care and social services systems, including the management of chronic diseases such as HIV/AIDS.

The purpose of this CDC mechanism, expected to be awarded by September 2013 and to use $500,000 in COP 2012 TBD funding in addition to requested COP 2013 funds, is to ensure continuity of support to the Government of Cote dIvoire to provide quality HIV PMTCT, testing and counseling, care, and treatment services. This project will build upon previous support under the HHS/CDC UTAP2 mechanism.
