Case study of Circles of Support (COS) Project
Case Study: Policy audit of the Circles of Support (COS) Project
The COS Project conducted a policy audit in three SADC countries, Namibia, Swaziland and Botswana, during the inception phase of the project. The project used the document Policies for Orphans and
Vulnerable Children: A Framework for Moving Ahead4” to provide a framework for the review. The framework was drawn from the components of an effective OVC package shown in the following box.
At the end of the audit the project concluded that:
• the policy environment is generally enabling of the implementation of care and support activities in schools;
• there is a lack of clarity on the procedures and processes available to deal with vulnerable children;
• there is an absence of dedicated policy on vulnerable children although this is rapidly changing;
• while the policy environment in the participating countries encourages schools to take on an expanded role in care and support for vulnerable children, this is not legislated or included in the school regulations
