The Yekokeb Berhan project has been operating in Ethiopia since 2011 to reduce vulnerability among children and families affected by HIV and AIDS by strengthening supportive systems and structures to deliver essential services and increase resiliency.  This case study describes the coordinated care approach used by Yekokeb Berhan including a summary of each step and an explanation of the specific tools.  The data collection, storage and use processes, which are designed to ensure local ownership, are also described.
