Overview
This grant will enable MSI-US to incorporate behavioral science approaches to increase high-impact population’s access to quality sexual and reproductive health services in Uganda. Through collaboration with Behavioral Ideas Lab (ideas42), MSI-US will design, test, and evaluate new behavioral interventions that aim to reduce bottlenecks in contraceptive uptake and mitigate factors that influence discontinuation of modern methods. The partnership includes capacity building to equip MSI-US with behavioral science knowledge and skills that can increase the effectiveness, efficiency, and sustainability of the organization’s services in Uganda and across the global network.

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.
