RDRS, in partnership with Save the Children in Bangladesh, and with support from Korean International Cooperation Agency (KOICA), is implementing the Jononi Project, which aims to strengthen maternal and neonatal health systems in the Rangpur and Lalmonirhat districts. Running from March 2023 to December 2027, the project works closely with the Directorate General of Family Planning (DGFP), Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS), and Local Government Institutions (LGI) to reduce maternal mortality in the Rangpur division, contributing to Bangladesh’s achievement of SDG-3.

The Jononi Project focuses on building the capacity of health workers at all levels, renovating health facilities, and ensuring 24/7 delivery services at selected Union Health and Family Welfare Centers (UH&FWC) and Union Sub Center (USC). Additionally, the project provides essential supplies, logistics, and equipment, deploys midwives to address human resource gaps, and engages communities to raise awareness on maternal and newborn health, as well as the prevention of child marriage and early pregnancy.
