Private Sector Project for Women’s Health: A Legacy of Partnership for Innovation and Change

This presentation gives an overview of the work of the 5-year PSP-One Jordan project, which ended in January 2012. The overall goal of the project was to improve the health of Jordanian women and (by extension) their families through public-private partnership. Toward that goal, the project pursued a community outreach strategy to educate low-income women and trigger demand for women’s health services through referrals and vouchers; formulated the “Enhancing Quality in Private Providers" (EQuiPP) approach to improve quality of women’s health services in the private sector; launched the movement to promote early detection of breast cancer; and, teamed with private partners to improve detection, treatment and care for female survivors of domestic violence. Many of these activities will be continued under the SHOPS project.
