CCC Model 1 - An implementing structure (see page 42)
In the first model, the various organisations and
individuals come together to form a new organisation:
one that has as its mission to respond to the needs
of OVC in the community. Together they will
come up with an action plan and decide how to
implement the plan. This work is in addition to the
regular work the members are already doing within
their own organisations. The CCC will be a new
organisation, formed for the purpose of responding
to the OVC crisis.This model may be a better option if stakeholders or
participants feel there is very little current activity with respect
to vulnerable children; and that a new structure should be created
to fill this gap and implement new activities.CCC Model 2 - A co-ordinating structure (see page 43)
In the second model, the various organisations and
individuals come together, but this time more for
purposes of carrying out a co-ordinating function,
rather than an implementing function.In this case, each member organisation continues to
work in accordance with its own internal mission, in
recognition of the fact that many organisations are
already working with OVC and that an effective
response can be carried out by these organisations
without needing to form a new implementing
structure.In this model, the CCC exists more to understand
what each stakeholder is doing to respond to OVC,
and to help to co-ordinate the response.
The member organisations can come together in
the CCC to share experiences, to identify lessons
learned and to share information about their activities so that complementarities may be gained.
In some cases, if the CCC feels that there is an obvious gap that no member organisation is filling,
the CCC may choose to implement certain OVC-related activities itself.This model may be followed if there are already many stakeholders responding to the OVC
situation and the participants feel that what is needed is more co-ordination, with limited
CCC direct implementation.(^38) Unit 1, Module 2 Guide to Mobilising and Strengthening Community-Led Care for Orphans and Vulnerable Children
