Details for Mechanism ID: 10791
Country/Region: Côte d'Ivoire
Year: 2013
Main Partner: Johns Hopkins University
Main Partner Program: JHPIEGO
Organizational Type: University
Funding Agency: HHS/CDC
Total Funding: $400,000

Note: To align the UTAP budget and new COP submission cycles, FY 2012 funding will support activities through March 2014.

Goal: To improve government of Cote dIvoire (GoCI) capacity to reduce the mortality of people living with HIV/AIDS and prevent HIV in newborns by increasing access to high-quality PMTCT and care and treatment services and to cervical cancer prevention.

Objectives are to 1) evaluate implementation of standards based management and recognition (SBM-R) quality improvement approach at 40 pilot sites; 2) assist the GoCI in rolling out cervical cancer prevention (CECAP); 3) support the GoCI to implement a task shifting policy; 4) integrate HIV and OVC content into curricula at national training schools (INFS and ENSEP).

Cost-efficiencies will be pursued through SBM-R, which improves performance and decreases inefficiencies; task shifting, which enables nurses to provide treatment at a lower cost; curriculum work enabling graduates to provide OVC services without additional training; and single-visit cervical cancer screening.

To transition to Ivoirian entities, JHPIEGO works with national entities and district health directors.

For quality M&E, JHPIEGO will strengthen CECAP M&E using lessons learned from other CECAP country programs. For SBM-R, JHPIEGO will develop appropriate outcome indicators beyond improved adherence to standards. For task shifting, JHPIEGO is evaluating the pilot project.

Vehicles: Through COP11:1. New in COP12:1 ($40,000), to work closely with health districts for the national roll-out of programs. For life of mechanism: 2.
