Orphans and Vulnerable Children (Totals for FY2005-FY2008)
*Note: Numbers reflect totals of downstream (direct) and upstream (indirect) results. 1 OVC activities are aimed at improving the lives of children and families directly affected by AIDS-related morbidity and/or mortality. 2 Botswana results are attributed to the National HIV Program. Beginning FY2006, USG downstream contributions in Botswana are embedded in the upstream numbers, following a consensus reached between the USG and the Government of Botswana to report single upstream figures for each relevant indicator. 3 Reliable data to capture non-duplicated upstream results are not yet available in C?te d?Ivoire. The acute exacerbation of the political crisis between November 2004 and March 2005 delayed the establishment of effective national planning, coordination and monitoring and evaluation systems. Although PEPFAR supports systems-strengthening, we are unable to estimate the number of people reached through upstream support and the total number of people reached is likely an underestimate. The PEPFAR team is working with the national authorities and development partners to obtain national data. 4 National level data on the number of OVCs reached through upstream support are not available for Nigeria. Downstream results are lower than FY2004 due to the close-out of a large OVC program and delayed selection and start-up of new OVC project activities. 5 The number of OVCs served in Tanzania represents a large increase from the results reported in FY04, due to increased upstream support to develop a National Framework for the Care of Most Vulnerable Children and a National Action Plan for OVCs. 6 The number of OVC served in Zambia during FY2005 declined from that reported in FY04, due to the close-out of a major OVC project in FY05. Although the second phase was launched in FY05, the project began awarding scholarships to OVC after the end of the fiscal year. 7 In Guyana, there was a decrease in the reported numbers of OVC served in FY2006 as compared to FY2005 due to increased reporting compliance with final OVC Guidance and the OGAC SI indicator definitions; implementing agencies adhere more strictly now to reporting only the number of OVC who received services over a period of time (as opposed and OVC who received services on only one occasion). Additionally, the reporting system utilized by implementing agencies providing OVC services was standardized in FY2006, leading to an increase in data quality and ability to verify numbers reported. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
