Overview
This support will allow Marie Stopes International-US (MSI) to build on its experience with human-centered design and apply the new approach to reaching 15- to 19-year-olds with contraception in its Sahel program countries. The current collaboration between MSI and IDEO.org in Zambia and Kenya has shown promise in increasing the number of young people using MSI’s services, and MSI will use the same approach in the Sahel, starting in Burkina Faso.

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.
