USAID | DELIVER PROJECT: Supply Chain Management for Outbreak Response (SCM-OR)
The USAID | DELIVER PROJECT improves essential health commodity supply chains by strengthening logistics management information systems, streamlining distribution systems, identifying financial resources for procurement and supply chain operation, and enhancing forecasting and procurement planning. Health programs cannot operate successfully without a full supply of essential commodities. The project encourages policymakers and donors to support logistics as a critical factor in the overall success of their health care mandates.

Task Order 2 (TO2) supports USAID's Avian and Pandemic Influenza Preparedness and Response Unit. Objectives include procuring commodities; and establishing and operating a secure and reliable global distribution system to store, transport, rapidly deliver, and track in-country distribution of current and future USAID Avian Influenza International Stockpile (USAID AI Stockpile) assets.

Implemented by John Snow Inc., the project designs, develops, strengthens, and, upon request, operates safe, sustainable, and reliable supply systems that provide a range of affordable, quality essential health commodities, including drugs, diagnostics, and supplies, to clients in country programs. Under this task order, JSI will establish a comprehensive management information system to provide current information about all aspects of the AI global distribution mechanism.

UKRAINE Maternal and Infant Health Project II
The Maternal and Infant Health Project II (MIHP-II) rolls-out services and key evidence-based medicine (EBM) interventions that were developed and employed during the life of the project's predecessor, MIHP I. With funding from USAID, private sector funding, and the support (financial, logistical, legal, and technical) of the MOH and participating facilities, JSI will achieve nearly complete roll-out by the end of the project.

Through MIHP-II, JSI continues to improve women's reproductive and newborn health and increase public awareness of healthy behaviors. In new facilities, JSI achieves the same profile of results observed under the former MIHP - the development of family-friendly delivery rooms, the reduction of practices such as amniotomies and episiotomies, and an increase in free position during delivery, immediate breastfeeding, and the rooming-in of mothers and newborns.

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.

UKRAINE TFH (Together for Health: Improving Family Planning and Reproductive Health in Ukraine)
Until early 2000, abortion and intrauterine devices (IUDs) were the leading methods of birth control in the Ukraine. The concept of being able to choose among a range of contraceptive methods was unknown to many people in Ukraine, mainly due to widespread concerns about hormonal side-effects. Limited knowledge on modern family planning counseling and practices led many of the 12,000 ob-gyns to prescribe mainly non-hormonal methods, without counseling their clients. There is now a broad range of contraceptive methods available on the market in Ukraine - at least in cities - contributing to an increasing use of contraception.

JSI and its partners, Harvard School of Public Health and the Academy for Educational Development along with USAID, the Ukrainian Ministry of Health, and other stakeholders are building the technical capacity to reduce the number of abortions, unintended pregnancies, and incidence of sexually transmitted infections through improved provision of and access to quality reproductive health (RH) and family planning (FP) services supported by both public and private sectors.

MotherCare (1998 - 2000)
MotherCare was USAID's flagship global maternal health project, for more than a decade, from 1989 to 2000. Implemented by John Snow, Inc., MotherCare's mission was to improve the health, nutrition, and survival of women and newborns through a continuum of care devoted to women and their families. MotherCare focused its assistance on the pregnant mother, the birth process and the immediate postpartum period to improve pregnancy outcomes through household, community, and health service related interventions. MotherCare developed and documented evidence-based programmatic approaches to reproductive health through safer motherhood. The MotherCare Project ended in 2000.
