The role of education in the protection, care and support of orphans and vulnerable children living in a world with HIV and AIDS (2004)

This report describes the contribution of education to the protection, care and support of orphans and other vulnerable children, as set out in the Framework for the Protection, Care and Support of Orphans and Vulnerable Children Living in a World with HIV/AIDS.

Intended to provide guidance for investments and interventions, it presents the broad lines of action considered necessary for education-related responses to orphans and other children made vulnerable by HIV and AIDS.

In particular, this paper draws upon and seeks to logically relate education responses to the overlapping commitments made in the United Nations General Assembly Special Session on HIV/AIDS (2001), the Millennium Development Goals, Education for All, and the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
