support the MoH in the roll out ICCM sanctioned VHT to other district, with a view to progressively achieve national coverage; and (6) development of a Logistics Management Information System (LMIS) that can appropriately track the supply of commodities from central public sector supply to facilities vs ICCM. • Optimize national logistics management for ORS and zinc to support forecasting, procurement and distribution in public sector: Support the NMS to improve the national Logistics Management Information System so that the quantification of consumption, volumes issued and costs is appropriately tracked, especially around the transition from individually packed Zinc & ORS to co-‐packed ORS-‐zinc boxes. This will enable regular revise of the essential medicine kit to take into account volume increases correlating with demand generation efforts, and avoid stock outs. • Educate Public providers about Zinc benefits and treatment course, and about the ORS-‐Zinc co-‐pack through production of IMCI computer assisted training and adaptation Tool (ICATT) materials. Create & print & distribute job aids for public health workers (Chart booklets, wall charts, treatment algorithms…). Train and support/supervise public health workers at Health Centers level IV, III, II and VHT in management of childhood diarrhea (Zinc + ORS) b) Intermediate plan • Train private providers in the management of diarrhea and promote ORS and Zinc as the appropriate treatment in the management of uncomplicated diarrhea. Create & print & distribute training materials based on IMCI for private health workers (job aids, video, …). Leverage lessons learned, databases and best practices from complementary private sector-‐oriented trainings such as the Integrated Management of Malaria rolled out in 2012 through the AMFm. Train private providers in integrated case management of child diarrhea (IMCI). Increase detailing efforts by pharmaceutical distributor to private providers, again developing relationships established through the AMFm. • Optimize the private supply chain through mapping the private supply chain and engage with key distributors to by-‐pass unnecessary levels and reduce margin. Learn the lessons of AMFm to ensure that international cost savings are passed on to the consumer – in particular through the enforcement of a recommended retail price that can be communicated as part of the BCC campaign. • Accelerate the introduction of low-‐cost caregivers/providers-‐friendly product. Work with NDA to fast-‐track registration of new zinc and ORS products (smaller pack size, flavor, syrup…) • Behavior Change Communication (BCC) 2: Dissemination of messages to caregivers in rural poor populations through interpersonal and social channels to reinforce awareness-‐raising impact of media campaign and encourage completion of behavior change. Two key channels: (1) Community activation by specialist communications agency with expert rural reach; (2) Support to the ongoing roll-‐out of Ministry of Health community outreach programmes including Family Health Days, Child Health Days and vaccination days. •
