Overview
This grant to MSI-US will support an internal effort to incorporate principles and practices of human-centered design (HCD) into several aspects of their programming and reproductive health services. This grant represents a new phase of our support for HCD with MSI, following multiple grants for HCD projects in various countries. MSI would like to institute HCD practices across its entire organization to promote a staff culture of client-centered adaptation, including efforts to produce standard HCD tools and guidelines and to apply HCD to a new strategic focus on client feedback. This grant is aligned with the International Reproductive Health strategy’s aim to increase access to sexual and reproductive health services through innovation in service delivery.

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.
