This is the final report of the USAID-funded Healthy Women of Ukraine Program (HWUP), a family planning and reproductive health (FP/RH) program implemented from 2011 to 2016 by JSI Research & Training Institute, Inc., in partnership with the Women’s Health and Family Planning Charitable Foundation (WH&FPF). This report focuses on how HWUP activities have strengthened the Ukrainian health sector, improved quality and availability of FP/RH services in the country, and increased community adoption of modern FP/RH practices.
This report is more than the summation of a single program’s achievements. Far from a “stand-alone project,” HWUP was the most recent of a long line of USAID-funded health programs implemented in Ukraine by JSI. JSI’s history of bilateral activities began with the Maternal and Infant Health Project (MIHP) (2002–2006), continued through MIHP’s second phase (2006–2012) and simultaneous implementation of HWUP’s predecessor project, Together for Health (TfH, 2005–2011). All four of these projects provided expert support to the Ukrainian Ministry of Health and allied public health partners in a collective effort to improve the strength of the country’s health system and the well-being of its women, men, children, and families.

We strive to build lasting relationships to produce better health outcomes for all.
