What are the key strategic interventions needed for OVCs?
There is greater need to strengthen the capacity of families and communities to care, protect and support orphaned and vulnerable children by providing economic, psychosocial and emotional support and to mobilize and support community-based responses. There is a need to ensure access for OVCs to essential services, including education, health care, birth registration and others. There is also urgent need to raise awareness at all levels through advocacy and social mobilization, to create a supportive environment for OVCs and families affected by HIV/AIDS.
