Authors: USAID, President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, OVC National Taskforce

In 2007, representatives from PEPFAR-funded organizations in Ethiopia participated in a workshop to develop consensus-based standards for selected OVC services. The workshop, based on quality assurance principles, employed participatory methods to develop draft standards for Education, Economic Strengthening, Psychosocial Support and Coordination of Care. This report presents the revised standards that came out of that technical staff workshop, the feedbacks from local partners and the children workshop which basically incorporates the views of children on the subject matter.
