This document discusses methods for monitoring the quality of programs that serve orphans and vulnerable children (OVC). It outlines why monitoring quality is important, and describes tools and approaches for systematically assessing and monitoring quality standards. These include using indicators to measure whether key activities are implemented and outcomes are achieved. The Child Status Index is presented as one tool that can measure outcomes across several domains to determine if quality improvements are leading to better results for OVC. An example from a program in Ethiopia is given that found improvements in most domains by using the CSI to assess outcomes over multiple rounds after implementing quality standards.

Editor's Notes
- The quality monitoring process – starts with establishing quality standards – that guide program implementations Quality monitoring doesn’t need NEW SYSTEMS or new tools!
- The purpose or the hypothesis behind Quality monitoring is to confirm that standards are adhered to and programs are improving child wellbeing. If not what can be done?
- Do program staff, volunteers, caregivers etc find the information useful?
- Markers of QL Improvement (Indicators)
