Abstract
Out of 140 million orphans in the world in 2015, over 49 million children were in Sub-Saharan Africa, the region affected the most by the HIV/AIDS pandemic. This chapter discusses the role of social protection policies, various types of alternative care, and measures to fulfill basic needs in ensuring the welfare of orphaned and vulnerable children in Mozambique and Guinea-Bissau. Field research has revealed a marked difference in the way basic needs and psychosocial conditions are being addressed in the various types of alternative care situations in the two countries. Significant associations were found between the overall well-being of orphans and vulnerable children and their social situation in the community with respect to food, health, and education conditions. Implications for social policy and administration include strengthening the collaboration among governmental and nongovernmental actors to administer the required social support to the most hard-to-reach vulnerable populations in low-income countries in Sub-Saharan Africa.
