ICF Macro provides support to the government of Cote dIvoire (GoCI) to conduct its third Demographic and Health Survey (DHS). Data collection will end in March 2012, and preliminary results are expected by July.

The DHS is jointly funded by PEPFAR, the GoCI, UNICEF, UNFPA, the World Bank, and the European Union. PEPFAR funded Macro in COP 2009 to provide technical assistance (TA) to implementers and support the costs of some field work materials (anthropometrics, anemia testing and blood collection tools). Additional funding in COP 2012 is needed to complete the study because of extensive delays in DHS implementation, due in large part to the 2010-2011 crisis in Cote dIvoire, that made it necessary to re-procure some commodities and provide more TA than initially budgeted.

The DHS will provide testing for HIV and other diseases and will provide the first population-based HIV data since a 2005 AIDS Indicator Survey. DHS data will strengthen Ministry of Health and AIDS (MSLS), PEPFAR, and other stakeholder HIV/AIDS programming, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation.

In addition to funding, the GoCI provides technical staff, premises, and vehicles for ground work. These local investments and resources from other donors help maximize efficiencies in data collection, documentation, and consultation costs and human resources.

Macro will work closely with the National Statistics Institute (INS) to produce high-quality survey content, reports, and ensure dissemination of results.

Vehicles
