Overview
To adapt to changes in the external environment affecting international nongovernmental organizations, IntraHealth plans to conduct an Adaptive Leadership training in Dakar, Senegal with 35-40 leaders from its headquarters and country programs. IntraHealth believes its leadership team will play a critical role in transforming the organization from being a project implementer to a catalytic agent of change -- a transition suggested is critical by FSG's "Ahead of the Curve: Insights for the International NGO of the Future". IntraHealth will use organizational effectiveness grants to hire Alexander Grashow of Cambridge Leadership Associates to conduct the training, drawing on 30 years of research on Adaptive Leadership from Harvard University.

Grants to this Grantee
for support to civil society advocacy coalitions in West Africa
IntraHealth International facilitates the Strengthening Civil Society Engagement for Family Planning in West Africa project from their offices in Mali. This grant will allow IntraHealth to implement a one-year transitional phase of the project, which will deepen family planning advocacy efforts by coalitions across all nine Francophone West African countries. This work complements the goals of the Ouagadougou Partnership and brings together civil society advocates, religious leaders, young people, and other members of civil society to more effectively promote the provision of family planning through improved policies and strategies. The Ouagadougou Partnership is in the midst of determining the future of the partnership from 2020 to 2030, which includes an assessment of the role civil society has played and could play in promoting family planning use in the region.
for fundraising planning
IntraHealth International focuses on improving the quality of family planning and reproductive health services globally, with a particular focus on training and supporting health care workers. This organizational effectiveness grant will support assistance for IntraHealth from FSG to develop new strategic partnerships with the corporate sector. Funding will also allow IntraHealth to join the FSG-led Shared Value Working Group, a group of more than 15 similarly-challenged organizations seeking new ways of working.
for support to civil society advocacy coalitions in West Africa
IntraHealth International, Inc. facilitates the Civil Society for Family Planning project (CS4FP) from their offices in Dakar, Senegal. This support would allow IntraHealth to implement the next phase of the CS4FP project, which will deepen family planning advocacy efforts in Senegal, Mali, and Benin and launch new advocacy coalitions in Burkina Faso and Niger. This work is highly complementary to the goals of the Ouagadougou Partnership and provides civil society advocates–religious leaders, young people, health care workers, traditional advocates–the training and platforms required to more effectively promote the provision of family planning.
