1. YOUTH HOMELESSNESS IN THE USIN 2020, WE CONTINUED OUR WORK IN THE NATIONAL MOVEMENT TO PREVENT AND END YOUTHHOMELESSNESS IN THE UNITED STATES BY LAUNCHING NINE 100-DAY CHALLENGES IN COMMUNITIES ACROSS 2 DIVERSE COHORTS - IN PARTNERSHIP WITH HOMEBASE, AND WITH FUNDING FROM THE US DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT. HUD COHORT 5 CONSISTED OF FIVE COMMUNITIES, INCLUDING CENTRAL ALABAMA, CHARLESTON, SC, JACKSONVILLE, FL, MONROE COUNTY, FL, AND WEST VIRGINIA - WHICH LAUNCHED IN FEBRUARY. SHORTLY AFTER THEIR LAUNCH, THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC BECAME A REALITY AND THEIR PROJECT WAS PUT ON HOLD. HUD COHORT 5 RELAUNCHED THEIR 100-DAY CHALLENGE IN MAY, AND AS A RESULT, 168 YOUTH AND YOUNG ADULTS WERE SAFELY AND STABLY HOUSED DURING A 75-DAY PERIOD.IN JULY, HUD COHORT 6 WAS LAUNCHED - REPRESENTING OUR VERY FIRST ENTIRELY VIRTUAL COHORT. THIS COHORT CONSISTED OF COMMUNITIES IN CALIFORNIA - WITH KINGS/TULARE, MONTEREY/SAN BENITO, SAN BERNARDINO, AND SANTA BARBARA COUNTIES PARTICIPATING. AT THE END OF THEIR COLLECTIVE 100-DAYS, THE FOUR COMMUNITIES HAD SAFELY AND STABLY HOUSED 195 YOUTH AND YOUNG ADULTS.THIS BRINGS THE OVERALL TOTAL TO 3,828 YOUTH AND YOUNG ADULTS HOUSED DURING 44 100-DAY CHALLENGES, WITH MORE WORK PLANNED FOR THE FUTURE.2. CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM IN MEXICOTHE PROJUST PROGRAM, FUNDED BY THE US AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT (USAID), OF WHICH WE HAD BEEN A PART OF SINCE 2017, CAME TO A CLOSE IN JULY OF 2020. IN TOTAL, WITH PROJUST,WE WORKED WITH 40 FRONT-LINE TEAMS TO BRIDGE OPERATIONAL GAPS AND IMPROVE PERFORMANCE AND HELPED TO ACCELERATE RESULTS IN 16 MEXICAN CITIES. DURING THIS TIME, WE WITNESSED UNPARALLELED COLLABORATION BETWEEN JUSTICE SYSTEM OPERATORS, REPRESENTATIVES FROM PRIVATE SECTOR AND CIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONS - AND TOGETHER THEY ACHIEVED UNPRECEDENTED RESULTS IN THE RESOLUTION OF KEY CRIMES - MOST OF THE 40 FRONTLINE TEAMS SURPASSED THEIR 100-DAY GOALS TO INCREASE THE RATEOF RESOLVED CRIMINAL CASES BY HARNESSING INTENSE LEVELS OF COLLABORATION,INNOVATION, AND EXECUTION.WE CONTINUED TO LAUNCH 100-DAY CHALLENGES IN 2020 THROUGHOUT MEXICO WITH THE USAID FUNDED TRANSPARENCY RAPID RESPONSE PROJECT (TRRP) AND JUSTICE ACCESS FOR VICTIMS AND THE ACCUSED PROGRAM (JAVA).IN THE TRRP, WHICH FOCUSES ON STRENGTHENING INSTITUTIONAL CAPACITY AND INTER-INSTITUTIONAL COLLABORATION ON ANTI-CORRUPTION, AS WELL AS ENGAGING CIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONS, A SECOND WAVE OF 100-DAY CHALLENGES WAS LAUNCHED IN QUINTANA ROO AND SONORA - WITH EXCELLENT RESULTS AND MORE RESILIENT SYSTEMS.WE ALSO LAUNCHED OUR FIRST INSTITUTIONAL 100-DAY CHALLENGES WITH JAVA, WHICH FOCUSED ON STRENGTHENING INTERNAL PROCESSES AND SHIFTING DYNAMICS IN TWO PRE-TRIAL SERVICES (PTS) UNITS IN MONTERREY, NUEVO LEON, AND SALTILLO, COAHUILA. THE RESULTS WERE OUTSTANDING, AS BOTH CITIES SURPASSED THEIR GOALS AND IMPLEMENTED MEANINGFUL CHANGES IN THEIR DAY-TO-DAY OPERATIONS.3. REDUCING INFANT AND MOTHER MORTALITY IN SIERRA LEONETHE RRI BEGAN A TRAINING PROGRAM WITH THE WORLD BANK AND THE SIERRA LEONE MINISTRY OF HEALTH AND SANITATION TO TRAIN RRI AMBASSADORS TO LAUNCH AND FACILITATE 100-DAY CHALLENGES AIMED AT REDUCING INFANT AND MOTHER MORTALITY IN SIX CLINICS AND TWO HOSPITALS ACROSS TWO DISTRICTS.THE FIRST WAVE OF THESE 100-DAY CHALLENGES BEGAN ON MARCH 9TH WITH EIGHT TEAMS AND 13 GOALS,HOWEVER, COVID-19 QUICKLY PUT A PAUSE ON THEIR CHALLENGE. GIVEN THAT INTERNET ACCESS IN SIERRA LEONE IS NOT AS ROBUST, WE NEEDED A SOLUTION THAT COULD FACILITATE OFFLINE LEARNING. OUR ANSWER TO THIS WAS TO CREATE A MOBILE APP THAT WOULD ALLOW CONTENT TO BE DOWNLOADED FOR OFFLINE USE.DESPITE SEVERAL OTHER LOGISTICAL PROBLEMS FACED BY THE TEAM DUE TO COVID-19, THIS FIRST WAVE COMPLETED THEIR 100-DAY CHALLENGES - WITH 12 OF THE 13 GOALS EITHER BEING EXCEEDED OR MADE SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS ON.SOME HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE: - BOMOTOKE CHC - IMPROVED ANTE-NATAL CARE ATTENDANCE FROM 62% TO 100% - BRADFORD CHC - REDUCED THE DROPOUT FOR ASSISTED DELIVERY FROM 4.36% TO 0% - KAMBIA GH - INCREASED HYPOTHERMIA TESTING FOR NEWBORNS FROM 0% TO 100% - MOYAMBA GH - REDUCED THE STILLBIRTH RATE FROM 12.7% TO 4%WITH SOME SUPPORT FROM US, THE RRI AMBASSADORS IN SIERRA LEONE WILL CONTINUE TO LAUNCH 100-DAY CHALLENGES TO TACKLE INFANT AND MOTHER MORTALITY WITHIN THESE DISTRICTS.
