OVERVIEW Volunteers play a very important role in this prevention and early Intervention models of CWSA and are the back bone of this programmes. Without the Volunteers’ involvement, skills, capabilities and commitment the programmes will not be able to exist. More specifically it is about community members being carefully selected, trained and deployed as volunteers to become directly involve with children who are at risk and vulnerable.
A) INTRODUCTION This programmes is a nationally driven and nationally coordinated programme that facilitates community based care and support to orphans and vulnerable children in under-serviced and disadvantaged communities via the comprehensive infrastructure and collective action of CWSA, its member organisations and trained groups or cells of volunteers. The approach of CWSA to community based care includes extending our expertise and assistance to communities with limited or no welfare services for children; the linking of communities with resources to provide an adequate measure of care for affected and vulnerable children; and assistance with the enhancing of community skills. Trained volunteers taking responsibility for the program under the direct supervision of a senior social worker and site co-ordinator.
MONITORING, EVALUATION AND REPORTING M&E is central to determining the success of this programmes. Specific monitoring and evaluation procedures, as well as the necessary tools for accurate recording, have been developed for this programmes. Monitoring and evaluation is an essential tool to: • Make informed decisions regarding operations management and service delivery, • Ensure the most effective and efficient uses of resources, • Determine the extend to which the Programmes is on track and to make any needed corrections • Evaluate the extent to which the Programmes is having or has had the desired impact.
