Guidance Document – Developing and Operationalizing a National Monitoring and Evaluation System for the Protection, Care and Support of Orphans and Vulnerable Children Living in a World with HIV and AIDS

This UNICEF documents details five key strategies of the framework for the protection, care and support of orphaned and vulnerable children (OVC) from the United Nations General Assembly’s Declaration of Commitment on HIV and AIDS. This framework outlines areas for action and offers operational guidance for governments and key stakeholders. To fill the gap in weakened OVC monitoring systems, this particular guide provides specific indicators to monitor and evaluate the national response to OVC programs. This document can be used to create a strategic method for developing a national monitoring and evaluation system for OVC programs.
