Description: 

OVCsupport.net is a global hub for the exchange of experience, practice and tools on policy and programming around children and HIV funded by USAID.   The web site was originally developed by the International HIV/AIDS Alliance and Family Health International to serve as an an electronic library of resources about support to orphans and vulnerable children that have been collated by the Alliance and FHI from a wide range of organizations, based on the understanding that there are many good approaches to supporting orphans and vulnerable children.  Known as the "OVC Toolkit", the site addressed a wide range of themes related to support for orphans and vulnerable children– for example: situation assessments, access to education, psychosocial support, children’s participation, and monitoring and evaluation. In addition to over 500 downloadable resources, the site highlights key issues to consider for orphans and vulnerable children support programming.  Most of the resources contained on the site are in English.
