The aim of the project is to develop models of best practise so as to enhance and improve support structures for OVC in the southern African region as a whole.

The Institute of Medicine recommends that the United States and African nations move toward a strategy of shared responsibility such that these nations are empowered to take ownership of their HIV/AIDS problem and work to solve it.
