Children, Communities, and Care (PC3) Program, Ethiopia
A “Livelihood Development” Approach

The third installment in the Promising Practices Case Study Series, “Children, Communities, and Care (PC3) Program, Ethiopia” provides an overview of the PC3 program history and methodology as well as results and lessons learned.

The PC3 Program aimed to:

  • increase the availability, quality, and consistency of community-based support services for orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) and families affected by HIV & AIDS;
  • improve the capacity of Ethiopian civil society organizations (CSO) to plan, implement, monitor, evaluate, manage, and report on OVC programs and services; and
  • create a more supportive environment for OVC and their households through strengthened coordination, networking, and advocacy.

The program has sought to ensure that a range of core services are provided across community OVC programs, while maximizing other services that meet the needs of OVC and build their capacity. One of the “fixed menus” for OVC care and support services is livelihood support.
