Monitoring Outcomes of PEPFAR Orphans and Vulnerable Children Programs in Kenya: Dissemination Workshop

Author(s): Susan Settergren and Walter Obiero
Year: 2018
In 2016, the orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) team of the United States President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)/Kenya requested assistance from MEASURE Evaluation (which is funded by the United States Agency for International Development [USAID] and PEPFAR) to conduct outcome monitoring surveys for three of its ongoing OVC projects in western Kenya: USAID’s AIDS, Population and Health Integrated Assistance plus Western Kenya (APHIAplus) project; the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Timiza 90 project; and a project of the United States Department of Defense led by the Walter Reed Program/Henry M. Jackson Foundation Medical Research International. The first round of these household surveys collected data for the nine PEPFAR OVC Essential Survey Indicators and other related information. Reports for the three surveys can be found online here. Round 2 of the surveys occured in 2018.
On May 30–31, 2018, MEASURE Evaluation conducted a workshop in Kisumu, Kenya, to disseminate the first round of survey results and facilitate development of project management responses to the findings. This report presents a summary of the two-day workshop.
