This is a continuing activity under COP09.

ACTIVITY HAS BEEN MODIFIED IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS:

Although, implementing partners routinely gather quantitative information about psychosocial support

programming (numbers of peer educators trained, number of children attending peer clubs, etc) limited

information is actually gathered on the outcome of such activities and what contributions are made to the

overall well-being fo the OVC.

With technical assistance from the Boston University School of Public Health, PEPFAR Mozambique will

assess impact psychosocial support interventions on OVC in Mozambique. This is a timely program

evaluation given increased attention and focus by implementing partners, the Ministry of Health and Ministry

of Women and Action are placing increased emphasis on pyshosocial support interventions and economic

strengthening activities for vulnerable children and youth.

Information yielded from these evaluations will inform programming decisions for the Mission as well as the

Ministry of Women and Social Action. All vulnerable children benefiting from psychosocial and econonic

strenghening will benefit from more effective and meaningful interventions in these OVC service areas.

This is the FY08 activity narrative:

Reprogramming August08: The goals of this task order are to - 1) fill critical gaps in the OVC research

evidence base to guide cost-effective programming of OVC resources; 2) guide alignment of OVC programs

to complement national-level responses, frameworks, and plans of action for OVC; and 3) identify strategies

and approaches to improve the coverage, quality, effectiveness, and impact of OVC programs.

Mozambique expects activities implemented under this Task Order will provide critical information to inform

program decisions and ensure scale up services without sacrifcing quality.
