The USAID Caring for Vulnerable Children (CVC) Activity is a PEPFAR-funded project that aims to improve HIV prevention and treatment outcomes among vulnerable children and adolescents and contribute towards mitigation of the impact of HIV on children, their households, and communities in Tigray. The program has two main focus; OVC comprehensive program and OVC preventive program.
The OVC Comprehensive focuses on:
- CALHIV, especially those newly diagnosed, new on treatment, with poor viral suppression, or who have a history of interruption in treatment and have returned to care.
- Children of mothers living with HIV (HIV-exposed infants [HEIs]) especially those born to HIV-positive adolescents, and other high-risk mother-baby pairs.
- Newly diagnosed or adolescent mothers or those recently enrolled on ART.
- Children of HIV-positive caregivers who are virally unsuppressed, just returned to care, are newly diagnosed or new on treatment.
- Survivors of GBV and violence against children (VAC).
- Children of key population (KP) members.
The OVC preventive program focuses on Adolescent boys and girls ages 10–14 OVC Comprehensive Program and strives to achieve :-
- Scaling up index testing (100 percent of biological children <19 years of a parent diagnosed with HIV).
- Offering enrollment in the OVC program to at least 95 percent of HIV-positive children in TX_CURR (<20 years) in the target SNUs from clinical set-up.
- Prioritize those with poor viral suppression and those with interruption in treatment returned to care.
- Ensuring that at least 95 percent of OVC_SERV have known HIV status, those with HIV risk factors receive HIV testing services (HTS), and those diagnosed HIV-positive access same-day treatment.
- – Ensuring that 100 percent of HIV-positive OVC_SERV are on ART.
- Supporting clients on ART to adhere to their treatment and remain in care.
- Supporting HIV-positive OVC to access viral load (VL) testing and regular screening for tuberculosis (TB) and HIV, and to achieve viral suppression.
- Provision of family-centered, child-focused CM, including routine home visits by well-trained and supported case workers (CWs), individual child assessments and case plan development, referrals, routine monitoring of child and family well-being, effective and efficient family graduation, and case closure.
- Provision of services including emergency social protection grants, educational materials to facilitate continuity on treatment for OVC, and support to survivors of sexual violence.
