The main objective of the project is to strengthen the quality and ability of community-based organisations, families and community members to support vulnerable older people caring for people living with HIV/AIDS and orphans and vulnerable children and improve responses to their needs. Evidence gathering and monitoring of the impact of HIV/AIDS on and role of older people in caring for orphans and vulnerable children is integral and will shape policies, programmes and advocacy that include older people.
