MEMBERSHIP
Facilitators: Beverly Nyberg (PEPFAR/OGAC-Dept of State), Ronnie Lovich (SCF-US), Priscilla Akwara (UNICEF/NYHQ)

2008-09 WORK PLAN: FOUR MAJOR ACTIVITIES
1. Review of internationally used OVC indicators.
2. Development of progress report on children affected by HIV/AIDS
3. Estimating numbers of “vulnerable” children
4. Sharing & dissemination of OVC M&E documents
PROGRESS & ACHIEVEMENTS
ACTIVITY 1: REVIEW OF INTERNATIONALLY USED OVC INDICATORS.
1. Review of DHS & MICS Both DHS & MICS found the chronic illness and
OVC module difficult to implement
WG held 3 conference calls to review and discuss possibilities of improving the OVC questions in DHS/MICS
Consensus to exclude most OVC specific questions until better modifications are developed. Request to expand ages re: education and birth registration
2. Review of UNGASS OVC indicators – Yet to be completed.
ACTIVITY 2: DEVELOPMENT OF PROGRESS REPORT ON CHILDREN AFFECTED BY HIV/AIDS
Consultants completed work during Q2, 2009
Decision made to update data with 2009 SOWC
Will be published in Q4, 2009
ACTIVITY 3: ESTIMATING NUMBERS OF “VULNERABLE” CHILDREN
Two day meeting (July 2008) to examine possible models for estimating all vulnerable children and vulnerable children due to HIV/AIDS.
Meeting and calls identified multiple ways of defining/understanding “vulnerable” children.
Consensus to develop 2 different models:1. Number of children at risk of being vulnerable -
based on risk factors (UNICEF).2. Number of children currently in need of additional
support – based on current status (USG-PEPFAR). Both models are to be presented at the Oct.
meeting where strengths, weaknesses and uses of each model will be discussed.
