Performance Improvement

The USAID-funded PRIME Project II is a global activity that provides technical assistance and training in reproductive health and family planning services at the primary care level. The PRIME project has been a major force in applying Performance Improvement (PI) and Human Capacity Development techniques to the reproductive health field. As part of this effort TRG provides a full-time PI staff expert and short-term technical assistance to guide PRIME's implementation of PI and Human Capacity Development. Below are two articles written by TRG staff involved in PRIME that were recently in the trade journal, Performance Improvement, published by the International Society for Performance Improvement (www.ispi.com).
