In July 2008, the United States Agency for International Development(USAID) awarded the Orphans and Vulnerable Children Comprehensive Action Research Project (OVC-­‐CARE) to Boston University’s (BU)Center for Global Health and Development (CGHD). The Project was designed to achieve three main objectives: Fill critical gaps in the OVC research evidence base in order to guide cost-­‐effective programming of OVC resources; guide alignment of OVC programs to complement national-­‐level responses, frameworks and plans of action for OVC; and, identify strategies and approaches that can improve the coverage, quality, effectiveness, and impact of OVC programming.
