The National Orphans and other Vulnerable Children Policy and National Strategic Programme Plan of Interventions for orphans and other vulnerable children (NSPPI) outlines the role of the Ministry of Gender, Labour and Social Development and the Community Based Service Departments (CBSDs) in the Local Government to lead, manage and coordinate the national response to OVC. Development of human capacity through a systematically planned human resources development process is one sure way of achieving this. The rationale for the planned human resources planning is to address the current human capacity challenges in delivering OVC services. The aim of this guide is to ensure systematic planning for staffing and human resource development of the OVC programme staff at MGLSD, CBSDs in the Local Government and among key partners. The guide is for use by OVC programme managers for staff development planning.
