Abstract

The vulnerability of Orphans and other children reflects the level of socio- economic development in Uganda. Major causes of child vulnerability include poverty, armed conflict, HIV and AIDS and other diseases ACODEV OVC programming has been linked with broader development efforts around education, food and nutrition and livelihood assistance in the last 7 years. In this regard, ACODEV’s OVC care and support strategy is age-appropriate, situation-specific, and cognizant of the multitude of the needs among children and adolescent OVC in a family household or other situations. Our interventions have seen a change in direction where children increasingly been supported with scholarly materials helping in boosting their level of enrollment and performance. More boys than girls remained high on the education ladder, this is still attributed to most households giving priority to males when resources are minimal for educational.
