The International HIV/AIDS Alliance and Family Health International have launched a new online toolkit on supporting orphans and other vulnerable children, which shares learning and resources from a wide range of organizations.
Many countries now have to cope with large numbers of children orphaned and made vulnerable by HIV/AIDS. Families, communities and organizations are providing considerable levels of support to orphans and other vulnerable children, often in difficult circumstances. As a consequence, there is growing evidence of what works and what does not work in supporting them. www.ovcsupport.net covers the following broad categories:
Running a programme; Health and nutrition; Education; Psychosocial support; Economic strengthening; Living environments and Children's rights.
Each category has several sections and sub-sections - over seventy sections in all, on a wide range of topics concerning community-based support to orphans and vulnerable children.
Using http://www.ovcsupport.net/, users can download publications, find out about experiences in particular countries, read about terminology, learn about monitoring and evaluation, and contribute and make comments. The Alliance and FHI would like to thank the many organisations that kindly provided resources for inclusion on this website. The Alliance and FHI have received support to develop this toolkit from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). |
