Madagascar Zinc Case Study
This document is part of a series of fourteen case studies in eleven countries that have tried to scale up ORS and zinc. These case studies document both successful and unsuccesful programs and contribute to our understanding of efforts to deliver proven interventions for childhood diarrhea. They are relevant to the community of international agencies, policy makers, researchers, and donors. Countries included in the series are: Bangladesh, Guyana, India, Jordan, Madagascar, Malawi, Nepal, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, and Trinidad and Tobago. In some cases a country may have two case studies, one on ORS and one on zinc.

Using Mobile Finance to Reimburse Sexual and Reproductive Health Vouchers in Madagascar
This case study examines a voucher reimbursement program pioneered by Marie Stopes Madagascar (MSM). MSM set up a subsidized voucher program to increase poor people’s access to voluntary family planning services. Instead of traditional payment methods, MSM experimented with reimbursement via mobile phone. The program demonstrated that SMS money transfer systems can successfully reimburse health service providers in remote, rural and urban settings. Furthermore, the program illustrated that in some settings SMS systems can cut down on the time, cost, and possibility of fraud associated with cash reimbursement. The case study includes programmatic lessons to help organizations and program managers to replicate this model of reimbursement.

Working through Community-based Channels to Introduce Zinc for Treatment of Pediatric Diarrheas
The presentation reviews field programs designed to increase the availability of zinc treatments for persistent childhood diarrhea in Benin and Madagascar. Diarrhea is responsible for 15% of deaths in children under the age of five worldwide, and zinc has been clinically proven to reduce the duration of persistent diarrhea. The field programs sought to work with the public and private sectors to increase the supply of zinc products as well as educate consumers and providers via variety of channels. The presentation reported lessons learned from their various interventions, including that community sources are often sought for advice about diarrhea treatment, and therefore, partnerships with such organizations can increase awareness and access to products and encourage correct zinc and oral rehydration salt use. This presentation was given at the American Public Health Association conference in 2011.

Social Marketing Plus for Diarrheal Disease Control: Point-of-Use Water Disinfection and Zinc Treatment (POUZN) Project
The Social Marketing Plus for Diarrheal Disease Control: Point-of-Use Water Disinfection and Zinc Treatment (POUZN) Project is a $12 million project funded by USAID that was designed to expand access to and use of point-of-use (POU) water disinfection and zinc products for the prevention and treatment of diarrhea through private sector channels. The POUZN project was implemented from October 2005 through November 2010 by Abt Associates Inc. in collaboration with Population Services International (PSI). Over the life of the project, it worked in 13 countries. A full POU program was carried out in six countries (Benin, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Haiti, Kenya, Malawi, and Rwanda), full zinc promotion programs were carried out in four countries (Benin, Madagascar, Nepal, and Pakistan), and technical assistance was provided in four additional countries (Angola, Bangladesh, Cambodia, and Senegal).
