PSP-One End-of-Project Conference

The Abt Associates-led PSP-One project held their End-of-Project Conference at the National Press Club in Washington D.C. on Wednesday September 16th.

Over the past 5 years, PSP-One has worked to increase the private sector’s provision of high-quality reproductive health and family planning (RH/FP) and other health products and services in developing countries. As a USAID flagship project, PSP-One advances state-of-the-art knowledge and practices in private sector programming. PSP-One provides technical leadership in optimal private sector strategies; synthesizes and disseminates proven strategies, research findings, and tools; and provides country-level support in development and scale-up of successful private sector programs.

In addition to sharing program innovations, lessons learned, and successes, the End-of-Project Conference discussed new opportunities for private sector engagement for accelerating public health outcomes. The conference brought together attendees and presenters from across a wide range of countries to discuss private sector contributions to public health initiatives.
