Reproductive Health Program Service Support (RHPSS) Project

Project mission

Implemented by Management Strategies for Africa (MSA), the Reproductive Health Program Support Services Project (in short, The RH Support Project) is a technical resource for delivering focused management assistance to support sexual and reproductive health (SRH) programs in Nigeria. Initial funding for The RH Support Project has been generously provided by the David and Lucile Packard Foundation.

The RH Support Project will contribute to strengthening management and program effectiveness of SRH organizations and programs. In this regard, the project will support the Government of Nigeria's policy to slow the population growth rate and support ICPD goals by increasing the effectiveness of SRH organizations and programs.

The RH Support Project will deliver a range of technical support services to respond to needs of SRH organizations and programs, especially those funded by PF. In particular, The RH Support Project will offer assistance in strategic management, monitoring and evaluation, and development of tailored SRH program management systems, to improve the effectiveness of SRH programs.

Through The RH Support Project, MSA represents PF at various meetings and events with donors, government agencies at all levels, and the broad SRH community in Nigeria, facilitating linkages and contacts with these partners and grantees. Also, MSA, on behalf of PF, will convene regional and thematic group meetings with PF grantees on specific issues, and organize technical workshops on topical issues.

Project Objective

1. To support implementation of Packard-assisted FP/RH programs in Northern Nigeria for improved, community-oriented program development and management to increase access to family planning/reproductive health information, education and services.

  How to access Services
  
  
  
  • Call The RH Support Project (our contact details are presented below) to discuss your needs and requirements.
    
  • If The RH Support Project cannot meet your needs, our staff will suggest alternative or additional sources of assistance and how to approach them. We encourage and will assist you to submit separate proposals for large technical assistance requirements directly to PF or other donors.
    
  • Once agreement has been reached on the assistance or service to be provided by The RH Support Project, we need you to submit a formal (written) request, to enable our action to begin.
    
  • If we are able to meet your need, we will prepare the scope of work (SOW) or terms of reference (TOR) for the assignment, for your approval. This will become the basis for monitoring and evaluating the assignment.
    
  • If an alternative source of assistance is to be used, our staff can assist you to contact such sources, and to prepare the SOW or TOR for the required assistance.
