Assessment of India's Locally Manufactured Contraceptive Product Supply
This report, prepared under the aegis of the Private Sector Partnerships-One (PSP-One) project, examines Indian manufacturers of generic versions of hormonal contraceptives (oral contraceptive pills, emergency contraception, and injectable contraceptives) and intrauterine devices. The principal question this report addresses is whether Indian manufacturers of contraceptive products are in a position to serve as a main source of contraceptives for the domestic and regional markets in a commercially viable manner. Brands multinational corporations produce and market dominate the high-end market in India, while free and subsidized products the government and social-marketing organizations underwrite occupy the low-end. This assessment finds that Indian manufacturers have the capacity to supply middle-and low-end markets with affordable, quality contraceptives. These manufacturers, however, face two significant problems: a lack of marketing and distribution capability, and the difficulty and risk involved in approaching new markets, domestically and internationally. The report draws on existing technical information and market research, but is based primarily on interviews conducted with manufacturers and people involved in promoting and distributing contraceptives in India.

Buying Results? Contracting for Health Service Delivery in Developing Countries
To achieve the health-related Millennium Development Goals, the delivery of health services will need to improve. Contracting with non-state entities, including non-governmental organizations (NGOs), has been proposed as a means for improving health care delivery, and the global experience with such contracts is reviewed here. The ten investigated examples indicate that contracting for the delivery of primary care can be very effective and that improvements can be rapid. These results were achieved in various settings and services. Many of the anticipated difficulties with contracting were either not observed in practice or did not compromise contracting effectiveness. Seven of the nine cases with sufficient experience (greater than 3 years' elapsed experience) have been sustained and expanded. Provision of a package of basic services by contractors costs between roughly US$3 and US$6 per head per year in low-income countries. Contracting for health service delivery should be expanded and future efforts must include rigorous evaluations.
