Overview
This support would allow Marie Stopes International-US (MSI) to continue its partnership with IDEO.org. The current collaboration between MSI and IDEO.org in Zambia has shown promising early successes in increasing the number of young people using MSI’s services. MSI would partner with IDEO.org in Mali to uncover insights specific to the Malian context and use human-centered design to design and test innovative new programming targeting young people in Bamako and surrounding urban areas.

Grants to this Grantee
for support of MSI's Sahel program
MSI-United States (MSI-US) provides reproductive health services to women and men in the Sahel region of West Africa in Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, and Senegal. Following on the success of two previous restricted grants to their regional Sahel program, this flexible program support will allow MSI-US to be responsive and innovative in their reproductive health service delivery. They have opportunities to expand to new countries and to continue to innovate in how they reach clients living in poverty and young people. MSI’s Sahel program will also focus on staff capacity and morale, which has suffered during COVID-19. This grant is aligned with the Global Reproductive Equity strategy to support the SRHR ecosystem in Francophone West Africa.
