This article analyzes the articulation of donor and field constraints on the implementation of outreach HIV testing strategies in C\&\#244;te d\&\#8217;Ivoire.Methods: Qualitative research was conducted in three health districts (Man, Cocody-Bingerville and Aboisso) in C\&\#244;te d\&\#8217;Ivoire in\&\#160;2015-2016, through in-depth interviews with community providers, local leaders and people tested and through observation of outreach HIV testing activities.Results: Implementing organizations feel \&\#8220;under pressure\&\#8221; to meet donors\&\#8217; objectives that are deemed unattainable, as well as the lack of training and funding. As a result, providers do not observe systematically the rules of the \&\#8220;three Cs\&\#8221; (counselling, informed consent, confidentiality), and propose testing to individuals who are \&\#8220;off-target\&\#8221; (in terms of locations and populations).Discussion: Implementing NGOs experience two types of constraints those resulting from the functioning of international aid (inadequate funding compared to actual costs, objectives too high, the important chain of intermediaries) and those related to the local context (spaces not adapted to guarantee confidentiality and the professional activity of target populations).Conclusion: The pressure that is exerted at different levels on implementing NGOs is detrimental to the quality of HIV testing. It is now essential to develop a more qualitative approach in defining strategies and evaluation criteria.}, language = {fr}, number = {1}, urldate = {2021-12-17}, journal = {Sante Publique}, author = {Kouadio, Brou Alexis and Carillon, Séverine and Bekelynck, Anne and Assi, Adjoa Nelly Assoumou and Danel, Christine and Ouantchi, Honoré and Doumbia, Mohamed and Koné, Mariatou and Larmarange, Joseph and {Équipe projet DOD-CI ANRS 12323}}, month = jun, year = {2020}, note = {Bibliographie\_available: 0 Cairndomain: www.cairn-int.info Cite Par\_available: 0 Publisher: S.F.S.P.}, pages = {103--111}, }
