PEPFAR’s Monitoring, Evaluation, and Reporting (MER) Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC) Essential Survey Indicators (ESI) data set

This survey data provides the first estimates of the essential outcome indicators and will be repeated at two-year intervals to monitor changes in the well-being of OVC and their caregivers over time. The survey design was a descriptive cross-sectional survey using cluster random sampling from among active beneficiaries of Project FCC enrolled before June 30, 2017 (Year 1 of the project). The aim of the survey was to assess the well-being of vulnerable households, caregivers, and children, registered in Project FCC, Mozambique. The targeted population groups are registered active beneficiaries, including primary caregivers ages 18 years and above and children ages 0–17 years. Questions were directed to the primary caregiver using a brief , standard questionnaire developed by MEASURE Evaluation for global application.
