Summary of Key Findings from the 4Children Case Management Case Studies

4Children has prepared a series of case studies documenting the core components of the case management process within orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) programming and national child protection systems, in three different countries: The Yekokeb Berhan Project in Ethiopia, the Sustainable Comprehensive Responses for Children and their Families (SCORE) Project in Uganda, and the National Case Management System (NCMS) in Zimbabwe, developed with support of the Vana Bantwana Initiative.  These case studies aim to provide examples of how case management can be used to support work with vulnerable children and families affected by or living with HIV. The experiences, approaches, and tools used by the three different programs share some commonalities as well as challenges and lessons learned. However, they also provide unique examples of how to build on or integrate case management into existing systems and structures at local and national levels, and how to integrate a case plan achievement approach into OVC programming.
