Haiti

The Family Planning and Logistics Management (FPLM) and Resources for Child Health (REACH) Programs, implemented in the late 1980s, were JSI’s first activities in Haiti. These initial projects expanded access to family planning services and improved systems of pediatric immunization and respiratory infection control in children, respectively. JSI has since worked to improve access to food and essential medicines, ensure quality maternal and child health services, and bolster HIV programs.

Through the Advancing Partners and Communities project, JSI helped to strengthen the capacity of 11 local organizations that received direct and/or indirect funding from USAID. JSI’s capacity-building assistance helped to improve their organizational capacity and ability to manage their USAID awards. This activity built on the success of the Technical Assistance to New Partners’ Initiative, which also built the capacity of Haitian NGOs.

Recently, JSI has also developed and integrated a full range of nutrition interventions for HIV and AIDS prevention, care, and support services the USAID-funded Strengthening Partnerships, Results and Innovations in Nutrition Globally (SPRING) and also strengthened the country’s supply chain logistics through the Supply Chain Management System project.
