PEPFAR OVC Guidelines mandate that we actively involve orphans and vulnerable children in determining their own future. In the development of minimum standards for the quality of services for OVC, one way to include children’s is to hold a Youth Input Workshop in which a select group of orphans and other vulnerable children are brought together to take a “first crack” at recommending outcomes, activities, and indicators (e.g. minimum levels and other measurements of each activity) for each of the seven PEPFAR core service areas.
