Overview
The grant will support JSI Research & Training Institute to test interventions aimed at improving the continuation rates of injectable contraception in Ethiopia. The Institute will collaborate with ideas42 (a Hewlett grantee) to draw on behavioral economics to design more effective services, and use a randomized-control trial to test whether these new designs help more women continue with their chosen method of contraception. The interventions will be piloted as part of the Last Ten Kilometers project, which provides reproductive, maternal, and child health services in four regions that are home to 80 percent of Ethiopia’s population, with support from the Gates Foundation, USAID, and UNICEF.

Grants to this Grantee
for support to host the Human-Centered Design Exchange
This grant to JSI Research & Training Institute will support the second phase of HCD Exchange, an effort to promote the use of human-centered design (HCD) in adolescent sexual and reproductive health (ASRH). Co-funded with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the HCD Exchange aims to improve ASRH outcomes through increased use of methods and principles that center on the aspirations of youth, as well as to expand the field of human-centered design in adolescent sexual and reproductive health to more organizations, funders, designers, and evaluators. During this grant, JSI will harness the learnings and community built under the initial grant to promote the uptake of new practices and to deepen engagement and sustainability of the community. This is a final grant to the HCD Exchange project under the new Global Reproductive Equity strategy.
