UNFPA Nepal NGO Sustainability and PARHI Evaluation
In 2009, JSI led an assessment of sustainability and organizational capacity of six district-based NGOs in Nepal. The assessment was funded by UNFPA to explore ways to sustain those NGOs' activities as UNFPA begins to phase-out direct program support. All six NGOs carried out facilitated self-assessments using JSI's Organizational Capacity Assessment (OCA) Tool, resulting in action plans and a number of areas requiring substantial capacity building. In 2010, JSI will conduct similar OCAs with four larger NGOs based in Kathmandu. Ideally, UNFPA expects that one or more of the centrally-based NGOs will have sufficient capacity to serve as a resource center for the six NGOs assessed in 2009, providing the latter with some of the needed technical assistance to realize their 2009 action plans.

JSI will also conduct a Population and Reproductive Health Integrated Project (PARHI) program review and assessment in 2010, two years after UNFPA implemented a program transition at the end of 2008. The PARHI review will inform district program staff about the context and rationale of the UNFPA program transition. To support this program transition UNFPA Nepal is providing evidence of what has worked and also showing that their work is aligned with the transition principles and transitory work that the District Development Committees (DDCs) can replicate.

Jordan UNICEF Neonatal Mortality Study
Despite considerable efforts to increase the quality of primary health care--including antenatal, neonatal, perinatal care, and maternity services--in Jordan, the national neonatal mortality rate remains high at 15 neonatal deaths per 1,000 live births. While pregnant women have excellent access to care--98.6% deliver in hospitals--high neonatal mortality suggest that deficiencies in the Jordanian health care system still exist.

The Neonatal Mortality Study in Jordan is an 18-month UNICEF-funded study that will determine factors associated with neonatal mortality in Jordan; identify at which points in the health care system improvements can be made to better prevent neonatal deaths; and make recommendations to resolve deficiencies in the reporting and health care systems across the country. The results of this prospective population-based study will help to clarify health system delays contributing to neonatal death and identify subtle changes that can be made to increase neonate survival in Jordan.

John Snow, Inc. is conducting this study and will be working with the Jordanian Higher Population Council, the Jordan Ministry of Health, and the Jordan University of Science and Technology (JUST).

MTCT-Plus Data Management Center
JSI's clinical data management and quality assurance experience is internationally recognized. For five years, JSI has been contracted as the Data Management Center for the Mother to Child Transmission Plus (MTCT-Plus) Initiative, developed in response to the UN Secretary General's Call to Action. Managed by the Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University (the Secretariat), the center serves demonstration sites in 8 countries in Africa and Asia and as such handles data related to the care of over 9300 patients in 18 clinical facilities in Cameroon, Cote d'Ivoire, Kenya, Mozambique, Rwanda, South Africa, Uganda, Zambia and Thailand.

The clinical care paradigm for this initiative is family-centered and holistic, addressing the stigma and physical and mental health needs of HIV+ women and their family members, in addition to the distribution of anti-retroviral medications.

JSI has operated the programs Data Management Center for the Secretariat, helping sites manage and automate their medical record system for MTCT-Plus patients. Seven sites began record keeping on paper forms (in a variety of languages), which were processed at JSI into electronic format; now all 14 sites use an Access database developed by JSI. The database also has an appointment tracking system built into it. Each month, JSI's DMC staff work with sites to resolve discrepancies in their data - providing collaborative training/technical assistance in data entry, records management, and the clinical protocol in the process. Each month, the DMC returns clean data files to each site and to the Secretariat and also produces quality/performance indicators to help staff ensure all patients are being adequately managed. Some of the key performance indicators are: (a) the number and percent of patients who have not been to clinic or have missed appointments for over 3 (6) months; (b) the number and percent of patients who have had ARV regimen changes; (c) the number and percent of patients who are eligible for opportunistic infection prophylaxis but not currently receiving it.

NEPAL Family Health Program (NFHP) II
The public sector health care system in Nepal has the potential to provide quality primary health care throughout the nation. There are a number of obstacles, however: difficult terrain in the middle hills and mountain regions, inadequately trained and supervised staff, and a lack of consistent supplies of essential drugs, resources and equipment.

JSI has worked in Nepal since 1981 to assist the government in developing a functional health care system that integrates health services to meet people's needs. Under the USAID-funded Nepal Family Health Program II (NFHP II), JSI will follow up its successful predecessor, the Nepal Family Health Program, to improve the delivery and use of basic public sector family planning, maternal, newborn, child health, and literacy/life skills services, in a manner that builds local capacity and encourages stakeholder collaboration. Working with government and NGO partners at national and district levels, NFHP II will work to improve policy and strengthen leadership and management capacity; improve service delivery; spearhead innovative approaches in community-based maternal and neonatal care, including nutrition; and increase community participation in health decisions and activities.

NEPAL Morang Innovative Neonatal Intervention Program (MINI 2)
The MINI 2 project builds on work addressing the high level of neonatal mortality in Nepal started under the original MINI project, in which community health workers, first-level health facilities, families, and communities worked together to ensure that they could correctly identify and manage neonatal infections in Morang district of Nepal. MINI 2 will create a model for the Ministry of Health and Population (MOHP) to expand these services throughout the country, to advance toward significantly decreasing neonatal mortality. The project is also working to determine how much external support is needed to maintain program performance and/or to initiate this model in other districts.

JSI is collaborating with partners to define the best integrated approach for improving neonatal health and survival in Nepal. Specific objectives include: identifying the most efficient model for scaling up community-based management of neonatal sepsis, and determining the effect on community health worker performance and program coverage with decreased external supervision and support; testing and finalizing a set of tools and materials that the MOHP will use for the expansion of this model to additional districts; provide technical expertise and catalyze the integration of community-based treatment of neonatal sepsis into the Community-based Integrated Management of Childhood Illnesses (CB-IMCI) program of the MOHP, and provide support for replication of the modified MINI 1 model in new districts; and monitor and document the challenges of implementation of MINI 1 model in hill regions, where there is limited or non-existent transportation, and to define viable alternatives for appropriate management of neonatal infections at the community level in this setting.

The MINI 2 project is funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and is implemented by JSI Research & Training Institute, Inc., through a subgrant, and in close collaboration with, Save the Children/US.

Reproductive Health Access, Information and Services in Emergencies (RAISE) Initiative
The RAISE Initiative seeks to ensure that displaced populations receive quality reproductive health (RH) services. Despite the great need, the provision of high quality RH services for displaced persons is often neglected in emergency response. There are approximately 70 million displaced persons in the world today, and roughly half of them are women who are especially vulnerable to RH risks both in crisis and conflict settings. When RH care is limited or absent, the toll - in terms of life-threatening medical emergencies and the violation of human rights - is profound.

Developed by Columbia University's Heilbrunn Mailman School of Public Health/Department of Population and Family Health and Marie Stopes International (MSI), the RAISE Initiative is committed to the provision of fully integrated and comprehensive RH services for refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs). Through partnerships with humanitarian and development agencies, United Nations (UN) bodies, advocacy agencies and academic institutions, RAISE strives to have RH recognized as an absolute necessity for populations displaced by emergencies - and, in a broader sense, as an integral part of basic health care for all, just as food, water, sanitation and shelter are commonly accepted as primary needs. The RAISE Initiative emphasizes positive change in six priority areas within RH care, which were identified by staff, partners, and leading researchers as key factors in achieving overall RH improvement, including: technical support, clinical training, emergency funding, advocacy, research, and documentation and dissemination. RAISE is working in Colombia, N. Uganda, S. Sudan, Darfur, Sudan and Chad.

JSI Research & Training Institute is a RAISE Initiative advocacy partner. In collaboration with RAISE staff and partners, JSI provides assistance to the initiative's advocacy efforts, working to positively influence the policy and funding environment to facilitate widespread support for comprehensive RH care in emergency situations. JSI's work with the RAISE Initiative falls under JSI's Reproductive Health for Refugees Project which encompasses multiple initiatives that seek to increase quality RH services in crisis-affected areas.

Europe & Eurasia Regional Family Planning Activity
Lack of access to modern contraceptives and quality family planning services--including limited method choice, provider bias and misinformation, and out-of-pocket costs--are among the greatest health challenges faced by women in Eastern Europe and Eurasia. These factors contribute to abortion rates that are higher than those found in many other parts of the world, and negatively impact women's health.

The Europe and Eurasia (E&E) Regional Family Planning Activity was a three-year initiative implemented by John Snow, Inc from October 1, 2006 until September 30, 2009 and funded by the USAID E&E Bureau. The Regional Activity was designed to leverage best practices in family planning with the goal of accelerating FP program implementation across the region, ultimately increasing modern contraceptive use and decreasing abortion rates. The program was designed as an institutional support activity working for and through USAID country missions to enhance and complement country-level family planning programs and USAID bilateral projects.

WEST BANK & GAZA Hanan Maternal and Child Health and Nutrition (MCHN)
Although access to health care has improved overall in recent years, limited health-seeking behavior, lack of social security, and continually deteriorating living conditions remain as barriers to better health for women and children living in the Palestinian territories. Results from Hanan's household baseline survey, conducted in late 2005, indicated low coverage of timely antenatal and postnatal care and high levels of iron deficiency anemia. Women's knowledge of danger signs in pregnancy, and of dietary practices to help prevent iron deficiency anemia is limited.

Hanan was a three year USAID-funded project implemented by JSI Research & Training Institute, Inc., in partnership with American Near East Refugee Aid (ANERA) and Emerging Markets Group, Ltd. (EMG). The project benefited 190,000 women of reproductive age and 168,000 children under 5 living in the West Bank and Gaza, by improving their access to quality maternal and child health and nutrition (MCHN) services and by promoting positive household and community MCHN-related behaviors. Hanan provided technical support and strengthened service delivery for 122 partner clinics and hospitals. Complementary community mobilization and communications and marketing interventions have created demand for essential MCHN services and indirectly reached even more beneficiaries.

PAKISTAN Initiative for Mothers and Newborns (PAIMAN)
Pakistan's maternal and newborn mortality rates are some of the highest in the subcontinent. Every 20 minutes, a Pakistani woman dies due to complications of pregnancy. More than 60% of newborn deaths occur within the first week of life. The majority of these maternal and newborn deaths occur at home.

The Pakistan Initiative for Mothers and Newborns (PAIMAN) is a six-year, USAID-funded project aimed at building the capacity of the existing health system and fostering a community-based approach to ensure a continuum of care for mothers and newborns. The project uses the Pathway to Care and Survival, developed by JSI's MotherCare project, to create an environment of increased awareness and informed decision making across all levels of the health systems. PAIMAN is working in 24 districts across all four provinces and AJK (Azad, Jammu and Kashmir), including the conflict zones of Swat, Buner, and Dir. In addition, PAIMAN is working with two agencies in two frontier regions in FATA.

The PAIMAN consortium is led by JSI Research & Training Institute and includes the Aga Khan University, Contech International Health Consultants, Greenstar Social Marketing, Johns Hopkins University-Center for Communications Programs, Pakistan Voluntary Health & Nutrition Association (PAVHNA), The Population Council, and Save the Children.

Basic Support for Institutionalizing Child Survival (BASICS)
Less than half of the world's newborns and children receive the basic nutrition and health care that they need to ensure healthy growth and development. As a result, 10 million children under the age of five die each year, most from preventable causes and almost all in developing countries.

BASICS - Basic Support for Institutionalizing Child Survival - was an innovative project funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) for three project cycles between 1994 and 2009. BASICS helped scale-up the use of proven effective nutrition and health interventions for newborns and children in developing countries. To achieve population-level coverage of life-saving interventions, BASICS partnered with ministries of health, other USAID projects, UN organizations, donor agencies, and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs).

The Partnership for Child Health Care, Inc., implemented BASICS. The Partnership was comprised of John Snow, Inc., the Academy for Educational Development, and Management Sciences for Health and supported by the Manoff Group, Inc., PATH, and Save the Children USA.

The website, www.basics.org, not only houses 15 years of BASICS publications, but also features an innovative close-out report design that links readers to expanded documentation on the themes and results being discussed.
