Child, Caregiver and Household Well-being Survey Tools for OVC Programs – Protocol Template

This template protocol has been developed for use by local and international investigators and other research stakeholders, such as program managers, donors, and government that are implementing research involving orphans and vulnerable children. The process of protocol development enables discussion and agreement on the implementation strategy and child protection issues, among other concerns. This process improves the study design, enables matching of resources to objectives, and ultimately improves the usability of the data generated from the study. A protocol is a guidance document for all stakeholders throughout the study period, serving as a reminder to all stakeholders of the agreed strategy and timeline.
