Description: We subscribe to the World Bank’s 12 Principles for Guiding OVC Interventions, endorsed by the UNAIDS Committee in November 2001.
1. Strengthen the protection and care of orphans and other vulnerable children within their extended families and communities;
2. Strengthen the economic coping capacities of families and communities;
3. Enhance the capacity of families and communities to respond to the psychosocial needs of orphans, vulnerable children, and their caregivers;
4. Link HIV/AIDS prevention activities, care and support for people living with HIV/AIDS, and efforts to support orphans and other vulnerable children;
5. Focus on the most vulnerable children and communities, not only those orphaned by AIDS;
6. Give particular attention to the roles of boys and girls, and men and women, and address gender discrimination;
7. Ensure the full involvement of young people as part of the solution;
8. Strengthen schools and ensure access to education;
9. Reduce stigma and discrimination;
10. Accelerate learning and information exchange;
11. Strengthen patterns and partnerships at all levels and build coalitions among stakeholders;
12. Ensure that external support strengthens and does not undermine community initiative and motivation.
