The Isibindi programme, developed by the National Association of Child Care Workers (NACCW) in 2005, is specifically designed to meet the needs of OVC, their families and communities. This report describes a formative evaluation of the Isibindi programme initiated in mid-2014, two years after the start of the expansion. The study was designed to examine key aspects of the programme and model including the pace of recruitment and training scale up, how different aspects of training and mentorship are contributing to service delivery quality at new and established sites, and community or structural changes prompted by the programme.
