OVC MER Strategy – Moving Towards Outcomes
• New OVC MER strategy is a critical and positive shift toward a comprehensive, outcomes based strategy for showing impact
• USG investments in OVC programs substantial, but impact mostly undocumented.
• Challenges to understanding impact: lack of standardized measures and tools tailored to OVC population & child well-being
• OVC TWG & Measure developed set of core quantitative child outcomes and caregiver/ household outcomes tools– Toolkit formed strong foundation to build a new set of indicators and
global strategy when OGAC commissioned a new MER strategy. – Pilot-tested in Zambia and Nigeria; Translations to French in progress
Specific Shifts in Data Collected
• Emphasize program effectiveness & outcomes
• Reflects 2012 PEPFAR OVC Guidance-developmental milestones across ages/stages
• Track coverage: active beneficiaries for OVC
• Track contribution to Continuum of Response
• Elevate core indicators from OVC Survey toolkit
OVC Indicators in the MERMER Code

Targets required
OVC_NUT Percent of children <5 years of age who are undernourished
OVC_SICKPercent of children too sick to participate in daily activities
OVC_BCERT Percent of children who have a birth certificate
OVC_SCHATT Percent of children regularly attending school
OVC_PRGS Percent of children who progressed in school during the last year
OVC_STIM Percent of children <5 years of age who recently engage in stimulating activities with any household member over 15 years of age
Child Protection IndicatorOVC_CP% eligible households able to access money to meet important family needs
REPLACED C1.1.D- OVC_SERV
Number of active beneficiaries served by PEPFAR OVC programs for children and families affected by HIV/AIDS
Indicator REPLACES Umbrella CARE starting in FY14
Implications:– Overall intent is comparable to old indicator: Measures coverage– More specific: uniquely OVC-related vs. overlap with clinical care– Defines “active beneficiary” as receiving quarterly contact-aligns with
criteria needed to meet direct support definition– Clarification of who is counted is anticipated to improve quality of data
PEPFAR MER Introduction 2013_11_21 6
OVC Level 1 Indicators-OVC_SERV
Indicator code:OVC_SERV 1
Number of active beneficiaries served by PEPFAR OVC programs for children and families affected by HIV/AIDS
NGI Mapping: C1.1.D <18 disaggregation continuing – significant modification in definition; trend analysis will be impacted
PEPFAR Support Target/Result Type:
Both Direct Service Delivery (DSD) and Technical Assistance-only (TA-only) targets and results should be reported to HQ
Numerator: 1 Number of active beneficiaries served by PEPFAR programs for children and families affected by HIV/AIDS
Denominator: 1 N/ADisaggregation(s): 1 Sex: Male, Female
1 Age: <1, 1-4, 5-9, 10-14, 15-17, 18+ Data Source: Registers, organization records, or other program monitoring toolsData Collection Frequency:
Data should be collected continuously as part of service delivery. Data analysis and review should be done semi-annually, in time for PEPFAR reporting cycles to monitor progress towards achieving the targets and to identify and correct any data quality issues.
PEPFAR MER Introduction 2013_11_21 7
OVC Level 1 Indicators
Indicator code:OVC_SERV 1
Number of active beneficiaries served by PEPFAR OVC programs for children and families affected by HIV/AIDS
Method of Measurement: The indicator is generated by counting the number of active beneficiaries (children or caregivers) who received at least one PEPFAR service from facilities and/or community -based organizations (see definition of an ‘active beneficiary’ below). To reduce the burden of counting on organizations providing services, registers with names of children who meet the criteria for “active beneficiary” are sufficient for generating the number included in this indicator. The types of OVC programs required to report on this indicator are outlined in the 2012 PEPFAR OVC Guidance and are those designed to address critical care needs. Explanation of Numerator: Active beneficiary is defined as an individual who has received program services in the last three months and who is scheduled to receive program services at least once every three months, as outlined in program guidelines or standards of practice. New beneficiaries who only registered in the last quarter will be counted as active even if they have not yet received services. Partners will report on the number of beneficiaries on their “active” registries. Partners will not be required to count the number of individuals receiving services at each reporting period.

OVC Level 1 Indicator: OVC_ACC
Number of active beneficiaries receiving support from PEPFAR OVC programs to access HIV services
• This is a direct output indicator that measures the number of children and/or caregivers who are referred to and enabled to access HIV-related services. The data obtained from this indicator can inform cross-program planning including PMTCT, pediatric and adult HIV testing, and treatment programs.
• Learning year-2014; Report starting in FY15
PEPFAR MER Introduction 2013_11_21 9
LEVEL 2 INDICATORS
Reminder: Distilling core indicators
• Our starting point: 6+1 domains of PEPFAR OVC programming
• Step 1: Extensive literature search• Step 2: Gaps (HES, PSS) filled through targeted research Result: >600 child/HH wellbeing questions/indicators• Step 3: Analysis against 8 criteria
Result: shorter list of questions for discussion

Highlights of MER Outcomes Package:Data Collection for Improved Quality
• Biennial (every two years)• Greater Age Disaggregation – all indicators• Utilize trained data collections external to
service delivery– Relieve burden of front line service providers– Build on capacity of local research institutions
OVC OUTCOMES PACKAGE – LEVEL 2
Outcomes Package- Quality*• % <15 whose primary caregiver knows their HIV status • % children <5 who are undernourished• % children who are too sick to participate in daily activities • % children who have a birth certificate• % children regularly attending school• % children who progressed in school during the last year• % eligible children <5 years who engaged in stimulating activities with household
members over 15 years of age• Child Protection indicator (in development)• % eligible households able to access money to meet important family needs
