b) Department is implementing a Community-Based Prevention and Early Intervention Programme called RISIHA, which provides Core Package of Services (CPS) to vulnerable children which among others include orphaned children. The aim of this programme is to move children from vulnerability to resilience, minimise risk, address the underlying causes of vulnerability or risk, and build a protective environment.

There are seven intervention domains of the CPS which are as follow:

• Food and Nutrition which provide a safety net for children within their communities and where they can access food when the food provision in their family is insecure or where the child is at risk of stunting and malnutrition. Improve children’s food security & nutrition intake by ensuring access to community nutrition opportunities (cooked meals, food parcels), promote adequate nutrition, and track children’s growth to identify stunting.

• Psychosocial support which is aimed at improving children’s mental health by the early identification of children in emotional and psychological distress, extend the implementation of evidence-based social behavioural change programmes, sensitise families on children’s participation in a family matter and promote access to sport & recreation.

• Educational support which is geared towards increasing access to and attendance of school. The programme includes supporting children to overcome obstacles such as lack of school uniform, transport, lack of parental support for schooling and to support children in their educational performance.

• Economic Strengthening which aims at supporting and increasing the economic base of households through facilitating access to social security grants, entrepreneurial and other economic strengthening activities.

• Child care and protection aimed at preventing child abuse, neglect and exploitation. It further creates an enabling environment within the home, community and accessible services that will support parents to look after their children.

• Health promotion which is intended to improve children’s health through better access to health care, promote and support access to sexual reproductive health services for girls and boys, and the early identification and support to children with disabilities, promote and support good WASH habits.

• HIV and AIDS services which are aimed at reducing children’s risk of contracting HIV by improved HIV awareness and sexuality education, promoting known HIV status of children, support ART uptake and adherence and mitigating sexual and substance risk-taking behaviour of adolescents.
