Overview
Since 2013 Marie Stopes International-US (MSI) has been collaborating with design firm IDEO.org to use human-centered design to improve the uptake of reproductive health services among teens in Zambia and Kenya. This grant will support MSI to develop a strategy and evaluation framework for youth programming that builds on this experience in Zambia and Kenya. MSI will first convene IDEO.org, the International Centre for Social Franchising, and donors for a consultative workshop in London in spring 2016. The team will use the workshop to agree on appropriate measures of success and options for scaling and sustaining youth services in these two countries and across MSI’s global platform.

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.
