Orphans and other vulnerable children
(OVC) are among the most vulnerable population groups in
Africa. Without support and protection, they are exposed to
the risk of abusive labor, lack of education, malnutrition,
disease, and death. Estimates indicate that 20 percent of
children in Sub-Saharan Africa are OVC. They constitute such
a large group that, to achieve the Millennium Development
Goals (MDGs), OVC concerns need to be mainstreamed into
relevant World Bank projects and programs. This brief note
refers to the toolkit designed as a web-based product to
make it a widely accessible, live document. It draws on a
large array of experiences and material from international
agencies and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), hence
helping to disseminate lessons - good and bad - learnt in a
variety of settings. The Toolkit is organized in four parts
and twenty-four sections. |
