Building blocks in practice: participatory tools to improve the development of care and support for orphans and vulnerable children
October 2006
Development Experience Clearinghouse (DEC)
Today more than 13 million children currently under age 15 have lost one or both parents to AIDS. By 2010 this number is expected to have risen to more than 25 million (Children on the Brink, UNICEF, UNAIDS and USAID, 2002.) Families and communities are an integral part of the response. They need support to help them care for the rapidly growing numbers of orphans and vulnerable children.
The Building Blocks: Africa-wide Briefing Notes published by the Alliance outline the issues, principles and strategies for community-based support to orphans and vulnerable children. The Briefing Notes topics, which also have an overview, are:
-
Economic strengthening
-
Educational support
-
Health and nutrition
-
Older carers
-
Psychosocial support
-
Social inclusion
