PN-OEV

What PN-OEV does

PN-OEV (Programme National de prise en charge des Orphelins et Enfants rendus Vulnérables du fait du VIH) is a national government social welfare and public health program of Côte d'Ivoire, established by Decree N°2003-383 of October 9, 2003 and currently operating under the Ministry of Women, Family and Child Protection (MFFE). The program coordinates a comprehensive, multi-sectoral response for orphans and children made vulnerable by HIV/AIDS (OEV), spanning healthcare and HIV treatment, food and nutritional support, education, psychosocial care, economic empowerment, legal protection, and prevention. Its primary beneficiaries are OEV children and their families/caregivers, with the program claiming to have accompanied over 200,000 beneficiaries across more than two decades of operation.

The program does not operate a software product or technology platform; instead, it delivers services through community-based referral networks, local NGOs, associations, schools, and health facilities. Core programs include a child sponsorship (parrainage) initiative, a recurring national food and non-food distribution mission, youth leadership training workshops, dissemination of children's rights in child-friendly language, and quarterly coordination meetings with implementing partners across 17 HIV monitoring sites. Internally, the program is organized around nine service divisions covering coordination, monitoring and evaluation, health/support/prevention, advocacy and communication, operational research, strategic monitoring, training and system strengthening, human resources, and financial management.

PN-OEV is funded primarily through the Ivorian state budget and supplemented by technical and financial support from bilateral partners (PEPFAR/US Government), multilateral partners (UNICEF, Alliance CI/FM), and a network of implementing partner NGOs. The central coordinating unit is lean, with 14 employees, and the program does not generate revenue or charge fees for its services. There is no equity ownership structure or commercial pricing model; the entity functions as a state-run coordinating authority that channels donor and government funding to a distributed network of community-level implementers.
