Ivory Coast, Africa: What diseases tend to occur there?

First, I'm not sure this question is a good fit for Travel-SE -- you are looking for specific information which is typically of little interest to travellers. More specialized sources should be consulted. Your organization is in the best position to guide you through the relevant safety procedures. Consider consulting a medical professional specializing in infectious and tropical diseases (depending on your country of origin, that might be tricky).

That being said, CDC has some detailed information about recommended vaccines in Ivory Coast. I'd say malaria and yellow fever are the main risks; hepatitis and typhoid are a concern anywhere in the world with substandard hygiene norms and water treatment. As you already know, Ebola can't be vaccinated against, nor treated, so preventing exposure is your best bet.
