Projects Overview

The Strengthening Service Delivery (SSD) Project focuses on building upon and leveraging previous and current Gates Foundation, and other, investments to improve the quality of downstream, supply-side integrated services accessed often by women, newborns, children, and youth. Through this award, JSI, with partners including Engender Health, Ethiopian Midwives Association, Family Guidance Association of Ethiopia, in Supply Health, Think Place, and local universities and development associations, aims to strengthen the service delivery structures through locally-led technical assistance.
