Case study on improving HIV testing and services for children orphaned or made vulnerable by HIV: Approaches of the Yekokeb Berhan program for highly vulnerable children in Ethiopia

The Coordinating Comprehensive Care for Children project (4Children) documented the work of Pact’s Yekokeb Berhan Program for Highly Vulnerable Children in Ethiopia in promoting HIV testing and services (HTS) for children orphaned or made vulnerable to HIV (OVC).  The purpose of the case study is to promote learning from OVC programs that have successfully designed interventions and approaches to increase HTS for children.  The case study details three strategies used by the program as well as identifies the challenges and gaps that need to be addressed in order to improve on HTS linkages within OVC programs.
