July 18, 2008 In Liberia, where a 14-year civil war finally came to an end in 2003, the health care system is weak and fragmented, health care providers are few, and reproductive health (RH) indicators are poor. In February, 2007, JSI Research & Training Institute, Inc. (JSI), collaborated with the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), the US Agency for International Development (USAID), and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to develop a plan to address the country's reproductive health priorities. Out of this collaboration came the first population-based survey in more than ten years. This survey was transformed into programmatic action through a partnership with local NGOs, which received small grants and capacity building through JSI, for the Reproductive Health Response in Conflict (RHRC) Consortium. JSI and partners UNFPA, CDC, and USAID continue to work with the Liberian government to provide capacity-building assistance for local NGOs to address the gaps in reproductive health.
