In Ethiopia, challenges to skills-building for healthcare workers (HCWs) include a national capacity building strategy focused almost exclusively on training, combined with high rates of HCW attrition. These and other factors create a perpetual need to train and build the skills of new HCWs. JSI, through the UI-FHS project, responded to these challenges by designing a…

The program’s objective was to help SLAES become an effective, autonomous institution that can serve EVD survivors and advocate for their needs. This has included supporting…
JSI views community knowledge and input as a critical and often underused component of strong health care systems. To improve immunization in the challenging UI-FHS regions, JSI brought community members into facility- and woreda-level immunization activities in Ethiopia, and utilized their knowledge of catchment areas and populations to target and strengthen immunization planning and implementation….
Following the Post-Ebola Recovery of Health Services (PERHS) program in Sierra Leone, USAID asked JSI to develop a pilot program for community-led health facility maintenance and preventive maintenance (M/PM). The resulting Sustaining Health Facility Improvements (SHFI) program was active in 70 communities in three rural districts. This document outlines the objectives, approaches, key results, and…
