Population estimates for orphans and vulnerable children in developing countries are inadequate and often rely on inconsistent surveys and demographic models. This manual was created to assist in programming by providing surveying/sampling approaches specific to orphans and vulnerable children. While the manual is geared towards developing nations, it can easily be adapted to the context of a developed country. The manual provides sampling methods for the entire OVC population, but also provides methods for sampling of sub-groups within the OVC population.
