The SUNRISE OVC Project is funded by the US government under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR).

The purpose of the project is to "strengthen sustainable local government and community systems that will improve access, utilization, coverage and quality of holistic social protection services for vulnerable children and their households." As a sub to the International HIV/AIDS Alliance, MSH was tasked with implementing a Leadership Development Program (LDP) in select districts.

The LDP provides an approach for social services managers to use at the district level to better plan, implement, manage and coordinate provision of social protection services for vulnerable children and their households.
