Description
The limited focus and vertical nature of current policies limit their responsiveness to the multidimensional nature of the needs of orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) in sub-Saharan Africa. This article describes the process of engaging stakeholders for multisectoral programming targeting adolescent OVC and measuring changes in their well-being using the child status index (CSI). We employed mixed methods for this analysis. Qualitative data demonstrated that working across sectors was beneficial while CSI scores showed significant improvements across three domains after six months of service provision. We conclude that addressing the needs of adolescent OVC in a holistic and sustainable manner requires a targeted and multisectoral approach. © 2013 © Taylor & Francis.
