The technical working group PCD-CI — which is
comprised of three voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) sites in Côte d’Ivoire — is partnering with the Nairobi, Kenya-based Liverpool VCT to support the scale up of comprehensive, high quality HIV counseling and testing services.
Liverpool VCT is sharing its extensive experience with implementing HIV counseling and testing services, along with related quality assurance and monitoring programs, providing technical assistance on topics including supervision, evaluation, policy and standards development, and accreditation.
Specifically partners are working together to increase PCD-CI’s capacity to support the delivery of quality
counseling and testing training activities on a national level. They are also supporting implementation of a
revised and comprehensive national policy on counseling and testing, as well as the implementation of the finger-prick testing algorithm on a national level.
Upcoming partnership activities will include distribution of a door-to-door training manual and development of a national plan for finger prick implementation.
