EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Knowing how many orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) may require services can enhance the efficiency of programming. The OVC technical working group of the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) requested help from MEASURE Evaluation (funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development [USAID]) to develop procedures—preferably using published final reports of standardized surveys such as the Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS)—to estimate the sizes of OVC groups having high programmatic priority at the national and subnational levels.

The State of the World’s Children report presents research from around the globe on the status of children, particularly those who are most disadvantaged, and their wellbeing. The report includes data on child health, with a focus on early care and intervention, education, children in poverty, and pathways to equity in these areas. The report includes data on children who have lost one or both parents to HIV/AIDS and other causes and the use of social protection and cash transfers to strengthen families and enhance their capacity to provide care to children.
This year’s report on Global Slavery makes reference to orphanage tourism in the context of Cambodia. The chapter on Cambodia begins on page 100 and highlights the exploitative nature of forced begging and orphanage tourism. These sections feature research from Friends International and UNICEF on the number of Cambodian children forced to beg in Cambodia and the surrounding region, the dramatic increase in the number of “orphanages” between 2005 and 2010, and the exploitation of children in the use of orphanages as tourist attractions, among other issues.
This study by UNICEF sought to identify key determinants of vulnerability among children –including those affected by HIV and AIDS – that can contribute to developing an improved global measure of vulnerable children in the context of HIV and AIDS. Data from the most recent available household surveys at the time of analysis was used from 11 countries – Cambodia, Central African Republic, Haiti, Malawi, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Swaziland, Uganda, United Republic of Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe – were pooled.
Based on the results of the pooled analysis, the key indicators of vulnerability for…

The report is primarily based on children’s stories as told to Save the Children in urban areas in Lebanon and in camps and urban areas in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. Drawings and other playful sessions were used with the children to help them tell stories of their everyday lives without the negative impact a deep interview might have.
The report highlights…
