The Core Elements of Success in OVC Care
This eCourse is part of the Core Elements of Success in OVC Care program. It is targeted toward supporting NGOs serving vulnerable children and families as they develop and engage in partnerships with government agencies, other NGOs, churches, and other stakeholders, but principles may apply more broadly.
Ideally, it will be used in conjunction with the Core Elements Self-Assessment and other Core Elements eCourses.
