This is the third of four case studies examinging social transfers to orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) in Swaziland. Such social transfers began in the early 2000s as a response to rapidly rising numbers of AIDS orphans as well as rising vulnerability in the population at larget due to a combination of adverse trends and factors. The four policies are neighbourhood care points, shcool bursaries, chiefs' fields and farm input support to child-headed households, and while these have seperate origins in Swaziland government and institutional structures, as well as in partnerships with donors, they were brought together in 2006 in a single over-arching strategy called the National Plan of Action for OVC 2006 - 2010 (Swaziland, 2006).
