Strengthening Uganda’s National Response for Implementation of Services for Orphans and Other Vulnerable Children (SUNRISE-OVC) is a five-year project, which began June 2010, to deliver and monitor high quality, comprehensive and scaled-up services for OVC in 80 out of 112 districts in Uganda.
The project was funded by USAID, working in partnership with the Government of Uganda’s (GoU) Ministry of Gender, Labour and Social Development (MGLSD) for oversight. International HIV/AIDS Alliance was the project management prime, with Uganda Women’s Effort to Save Orphans (UWESO) and Management Sciences for Health (MSH) as members of the consortium. Eight MGLSD’ zonal Technical Service Organizations (TSOs) provided the operational and community technical support to the district and sub-county government’s targeted by the project.
