Overview
This grant to Marie Stopes International-US (MSI) will support the next phase of a partnership between MSI and IDEO.org to use human-centered design to develop a set of contraceptive services for teens within MSI’s existing service delivery platform in Zambia. The first phase of this work showed promising increases in teen contraceptive use. During this next phase MSI and IDEO.org will use the human-centered design process to plan and prototype services for rural teens through the mobile outreach teams, a key service channel for the MSI Zambia program.

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.
