In 2002, the WK Kellogg Foundation commissioned the HSRC to manage the
conceptualisation and implementation of a research-driven, evidence-based intervention
programme to assist children, households and communities affected by HIV and AIDS in
South Africa, Botswana and Zimbabwe. The main purpose of the project is to develop
‘models of best practice’ that will underly and facilitate the development of community-
driven strategies to respond to the increasing burden of orphans and vulnerable children
(OVC) in Africa. The project has four focus areas and a series of goals, each with a set
of deliverables.
1
This publication is one in a series that forms part of the key deliverables for Goal B of
the project. In terms of this goal, the documentation of the interventions implemented
by the different partners participating in the project is key to the process of determining
what works and what therefore constitute ‘models of best practice’ in each project focus
area. This report provides a detailed summary of the various interventions implemented
across Botswana, South Africa and Zimbabwe in all four focus areas, namely:
• Home-based child-centred development programmes;
• Family and household support programmes;
• Strengthening of community-support systems and;
• HIV/AIDS awareness, advocacy and policy programmes.
The publication is a sequel to an earlier HSRC publication on the same subject (Dlamini
2004). While the earlier publication focused on a select number of interventions, this
publication reports on all interventions that form part of this project in all three countries
so far.
The information provides the raw material for the next phases of the project, and will
eventually lead to the development of best practice models for community-driven care
of OVC.
