4Children - Coordinating Comprehensive Care for Children (formerly C3)

The overarching purpose of the 4Children project is to improve health and wellbeing outcomes for orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) affected by HIV and AIDS and other adversities. 4Children seeks to support systems and structures at country and regional levels for promoting evidence-based interventions to protect against risk, interrupt cycles of vulnerability, and build pathways to resilience leading to an AIDS-free generation and contributing to overall improvements in quality of life and productivity in vulnerable children and their families.

Led by Catholic Relief Services, the 4Children team includes core partners IntraHealth, Maestral, Pact, Plan and Westat, and collaborating partners African Child Policy Forum (ACPF), Parenting in Africa Network (PAN) and Regional.Psychosocial Support Initiative (REPSSI).

With a highly qualified project team, an extensive roster of technical experts, and an established presence in all potential target countries, 4Children is poised to provide customized, rapid and cost-effective capacity building support to governments and civil society in strategic technical and organizational areas.
