From March 18-19, 2011, in coordination with the Federal Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Development, the USAID Health Care Improvement Project (HCI), held a Children’s Workshop in Abuja, Nigeria. Also participating as facilitators were personnel from Save the Children and Hope Worldwide Nigeria. The purpose of the two-day workshop was to bring together youth who are recipients of programs providing services to Orphans and Vulnerable children (OVC) to provide them with an opportunity to share their thoughts on the services they are receiving, inform providers on what children’s real needs and concerns are, and to tell us what we can all do better to help them achieve their full potential. The document below is a report on the proceedings of the workshop including activities implemented and concerns expressed by the children.
