| The Alliance Nationale contre le SIDA en Côte d’Ivoire (ANS-CI) is a national Ivorian NGO established in November 2005 and registered in Côte d’Ivoire in 2006. Until now, ANS-CI had been operating as a Country Office of the International HIV/AIDS Alliance (the Alliance) which received PEPFAR funding in 2005 to rapidly establish an NGO/CBO support program in Côte d’Ivoire. Through building the capacity of local staff and the newly-formed board of ANS-CI, establishing systems, policies and procedures, and enhancing HIV/AIDS technical know-how and capacity, the ANS-CI has become an independent national organization, ANS-CI.

ANS-CI will continue to draw on international and regional expertise and receive ongoing strategic technical support from the wider Alliance to strengthen the capacity of its newly formed Board, ANS-CI staff and partner NGOs/CBOs and networks. The Alliance Côte d’Ivoire Office has three key teams of skilled and experienced local staff: Finance and Administration, Programs, and Monitoring and Evaluation.
