A Facilitator's Guide to Developing OVC Program Sustainability and Transition Plans
Over the course of five years, the capacity of indigenous CRS partners and community programs has been enhanced. The current aim is that the well-planned transition of OVC programs to CRS partners will result in long-term sustainability. To increase program sustainability, it is critical that the transition is conceptualized and designed with input from all the key stakeholders. CRS has subsequently designed A Facilitator’s Guide to Developing OVC Program Sustainability and Transition Plans in order to facilitate the comprehensive and systematic review of existing structures and planning for strengthening of indigenous mechanisms for OVC.
