Key Interventions to Develop Systems and Services for OVC Populations in Cameroon- KIDSS: USAID/West Africa, through the Regional Health Office, intends to support efforts that contribute to the Cameroon HIV/AIDS National Strategic Plan, 2011-2015 through KIDSS. This intervention aims to alleviate the socioeconomic impact of HIV/AIDS on the development of the country. The Government of the Republic of Cameroon (GRC) has recognized the needs of children infected and affected by HIV/AIDS, but little has been done to implement interventions targeted on this vulnerable group due to limited funds. KIDSS Cameroon will support the government to address these gaps through the expansion of services to OVC. More specifically, the national strategy emphasizes the need to use state of the art and innovative approaches to care for and provide a healthy and conducive environment for the children of Cameroon to grow in a positive and healthy environment.
