The USAID Jalin
Project (hereafter referred to as “Jalin” or the “Project”) is a five-year
initiative implemented by DAI Global, LLC and its consortium of partners –
IntraHealth, Vital Strategies, and Market Share Associates – to work with USAID to facilitate and support partnerships through a
co-creation process that brings together a diverse range of public and private
sector actors to leverage domestic resources, increase the pace at which
reliable local evidence is made widely available and utilized to design and
implement local maternal and newborn health solutions.
Jalin
will contribute to a maternal and newborn health movement in Indonesia that:
(a) brings together actors, including those traditionally outside the health
system, to use local evidence and global best practices to co-create, test and
adapt local solutions; (b) addresses evidence gaps by identifying where and why
maternal and newborn deaths are happening and uses that information to co-define
and create local solutions; (c) engages the public and private sectors to
co-finance scalable local solutions to support partnerships and ensure that the
poor and vulnerable have access to essential services; (d) catalyzes new and
existing partnerships, local solutions and co-investment through a
whole-of-market approach across the projects areas of technical focus; and (e)
fosters a culture of learning and adaptation.
