In November of 2003, the HSRC and the WK Kellogg Foundation hosted a colloquium to present and review the research conducted by the HSRC in projects across six southern African countries, namely Botswana, Lesotho, Mozambique, South Africa, Swaziland and Zimbabwe. The colloquium focused on policy research that had been done across these countries and the status of orphaned and vulnerable children (OVC) in Botswana, South Africa and Zimbabwe.
