This is because a single sector may not provide all the identified needs of the OVC so Coordination of care is very important. This study assesses the provision of coordination of care for OVC in line with the Quality standards of OVC service provision set by the SSDGL (2010). Method; the study used both qualitative and quantitative research methods for addressing the intended purpose.
