    MSI Success Stories
    With funding from USAID, MSI is implementing the Local Partners Capacity Building (LPCB) program as a sub-contractor to the Academy for Educational Development (AED). The program aims to improve the ability of small local organizations to provide critical HIV/AIDS services to the Zambian people.

    The LPCB program recruited a core group of talented local development professionals to provide technical assistance for the project, and has trained them in the art of administering MSI’s Institutional Development Framework (IDF). The IDF is the foundation from which all of LPCB’s support to its partner organizations is based. It also provides a starting point for these consultants to develop a long-term relationship with the organizations they will support over the course of the project.

    Amongst themselves, the group has now taken the initiative towards mobilizing a professional association geared at sharing lessons, strategies, and tools with the ultimate goal of providing high-quality organizational development support to the larger development community The network reaches out to potential partners in the fight against HIV/AIDS and is already holding regular meetings outside of their obligations to LPCB. The group has independently developed an e-newsletter and has plans to build a website in the near future.

    MSI continues to provide some assistance as they grow their professional network in Lusaka and throughout all Zambian provinces. Built from the bottom up, this group has the potential to help ensure sustainability of the LPCB efforts long after the project ends in 2012.


Project Highlights

Russia - Mainstreaming Human, Social and Civil Rights

MSI is implementing a four-year project to mobilize Russian citizens to advocate for and protect their human, social and civil rights. Working in four regions of the country with human rights groups and regional authorities, we are transferring international best practices and leveraging the skills, resources and experiences of existing groups to communicate effectively with citizens and train them by example to stand up for their rights.

Philippines – Integrity Project

Corruption in the Philippines too often remains a high-reward, low- risk activity. The USAID-funded Philippines Integrity Project, implemented by MSI, focuses on current successful anti-corruption initiatives and establishes new initiatives to improve integrity within government agencies at all levels.

Morocco – Civil Society Advocacy Project (SANAD)

Implemented by MSI, the USAID-funded Morocco Civil Society Advocacy Project (SANAD) was launched in June 2009. SANAD will increase the institutional and advocacy capacities of at least 100 civil society organizations to promote democratic reform and advocate for citizens and marginalized groups, particularly the young and the poor, at national and regional levels.

Iraq - Strengthening National Capacity in Public Management

Effective provision of core public services is essential to Iraq's stabilization and development. However, the core public management capabilities on which this depends have been undermined by years of violence and neglect. Supported by USAID, the National Capacity Development (NCD) project, Tatweer, is a flagship effort to rebuild and redirect the Government of Iraq's (GOI) administrative capacity. MSI is the prime contractor for this project and has been working in Iraq since 2006.
