The Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation (EGPAF) began supporting HIV and AIDS care and treatment programs in Côte d’Ivoire in 2004. EGPAF in Côte d’Ivoire is working to end the country’s HIV epidemic by increasing access to comprehensive, high-quality, and well-integrated HIV prevention, care, and treatment services among women, children, and families.
As of February 2023, EGPAF is supporting activities in five districts in the region of Abidjan and provides national-level support to the Ministry of Health, Public Hygiene, and Universal Health Coverage (MSHPCMU) with funding from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) via the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and from the ELMA Foundation and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
