Monitoring Outcomes of PEPFAR Orphans and Vulnerable Children Programs in Tanzania 2017: Survey Findings from Kizazi Kipya Abstract:

As part of its monitoring, evaluation, and reporting (MER) guidance, the United States President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) launched a set of outcome indicators for orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) programs in 2014. The purpose of collecting these MER OVC Essential Survey Indicators is to obtain a snapshot of program outcomes at one point in time (Round 1–August 2017) and to assess changes in outcomes among OVC program beneficiaries over time (Round 2—planned for mid-2019). MEASURE Evaluation, funded by the United States Agency for International Development and PEPFAR, conducted this Round 1 survey in the councils in which Kizazi Kipya was working mid-2017. MEASURE Evaluation collected data from 680 caregivers and 2,309 children (a 91% response rate).

Kizazi Kipya is a five-year (2016-2021) project funded by PEPFAR through USAID. The project will achieve the following results: (1) parents and caregivers have the financial resources to meet the needs of vulnerable children and adolescents; (2) parents and caregivers have the skills to meet the needs of HIV-positive and vulnerable children and adolescents; (3) high-quality services are available to HIV-positive and vulnerable children and adolescents; and (4) high-quality services are available to “hard-to-reach” HIV-positive and vulnerable children and adolescents.
