DescSCHOOL-BASED DEWORMING: OVER 600 MILLION SCHOOL-AGE CHILDREN ARE AT RISK OF PARASITIC WORM INFECTION. WORM INFECTIONS INTERFERE WITH NUTRIENT UPTAKE; CAN LEAD TO ANEMIA, MALNOURISHMENT AND IMPAIRED MENTAL AND PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT; AND POSE A SERIOUS THREAT TO CHILDREN'S HEALTH, EDUCATION, AND PRODUCTIVITY. INFECTED CHILDREN ARE OFTEN TOO SICK OR TIRED TO CONCENTRATE AT SCHOOL, OR TO ATTEND AT ALL. WORM INFECTIONS ARE ESTIMATED TO CAUSE A LOSS OF 200 TO 524 MILLION YEARS OF PRIMARY SCHOOLING. PARASITIC WORMS EXACT A CLEAR TOLL ON HUMAN CAPITAL, HINDERING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN PARTS OF THE WORLD THAT CAN LEAST AFFORD IT. OVER 400 MILLION AT-RISK SCHOOL-AGE CHILDREN REMAIN UNTREATED. TREATMENT WITH A SIMPLE PILL IS UNIVERSALLY RECOGNIZED AS A A SAFE AND COST-EFFECTIVE SOLUTION. SCHOOL-BASED DEWORMING PROGRAMS LEVERAGE THE EXISTING AND EXTENSIVE INFRA-STRUCTURE OF SCHOOLS AND THE DOCUMENTED IMPORTANCE OF CONVENIENCE IN ACHIEVING HIGH TAKE-UP OF PREVENTITIVE HEALTHCARE. RIGOROUS EVIDENCE SHOWS THAT SCHOOL-BASED DEWORMING IS A COST-EFFECTIVE SOLUTION THAT TRANSFORMS THE LIVES OF CHILDREN OVER THE SHORT AND LONG TERM. A 2007 STUDY OF AN EARLY 20TH CENTURY HOOKWORM ERADICATION EFFORT IN THE SOUTHERN UNITED STATES FOUND TREATMENT TO INCREASE SCHOOL ENROLLMENT, ATTENDANCE, LITERACY, AND ADULT INCOMES. CHRONIC HOOKWORM INFECTION REDUCED ADULT WAGES BY 43%.A RANDOMIZED TRIAL IN KENYA IN THE EARLY 2000S FOUND SCHOOL-BASED DEWORMING: -REDUCES SCHOOL ABSENTEEISM BY 25%-INCREASES HOURS WORKED BY ADULTS BY 12%-INCREASES FUTURE WAGE EARNINGS BY 23%SPILLOVER EFFECTS OF TREATMENT PROVIDE BENEFITS TO UNTREATED SCHOOL-AGE AND PRESCHOOL CHILDREN AS WELL. IN KENYA, YOUNG SIBLINGS OF THOSE TREATED AND CHILDREN WHO LIVE NEARBY, BUT WERE TOO YOUNG TO BE DEWORMED, SHOWED GAINS IN COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT EQUAL TO HALF A YEAR OF SCHOOLING. WITH A TOTAL PER CHILD COST OF LESS THAN $0.50 PER YEAR, THE JAMEEL POVERTY ACTION LAB AT MIT (J-PAL) LISTS MASS SCHOOL-BASED DEWORMING AS A "BEST BUY" IN BOTH EDUCATION HEALTH. FURTHERMORE, FUTURE INCOME GAINS MEAN THAT INVESTMENTS IN DEWORMING GENERATE A RETURN OF UP TO 82% PER YEAR.Desc

DescDISPENSERS FOR SAFE WATER AND WASH: CHLORINE KILLS 99.99% OF HARMFUL BACTERIA, KEEPS WATER FREE FROM CONTAMINATION FOR UP TO 72 HOURS, AND REDUCES THE INCIDENCE OF DIARRHEA BY 40%. A RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL WAS CONDUCTED IN KENYA TO COMPARE CHLORINEDISPENSERS TO OTHER CHLORINATION OPTIONS. THE RESEARCHERS FOUND THAT 50-61% OF PEOPLE ADOPTED THE CHLORINE DISPENSER SYSTEM COMPARED WITH ONLY 6-14% IN THE CONTROL GROUP, OR A NEARLY 10-FOLD INCREASE. ADOPTION WAS SUSTAINED OVER TIME. INSPIRED BY THE SUSTAINED SUCCESS OF THIS LOW-COST INTERVENTION, THE DISPENSERS FOR SAFE WATER PROGRAM WAS DEVELOPED TO SCALE UP CHLORINE DISPENSERS AND PROVIDE ACCESS TO SAFE WATER FOR MILLIONS OF PEOPLE. CHLORINE DISPENSERS ARE AN INNOVATIVE, LOW-COST APPROACH PROVEN TO INCREASE RATES OF HOUSEHOLD CHLORINATION. CHLORINE DISINFECTS DRINKING WATER WHILE PROTECTING IT FROM RECONTAMINATION. WE HAVE CONTINUED TO SEE HIGH ADOPTION RATES AS WE SCALE THIS PROGRAM IN BOTH KENYA AND UGANDA. WE ARE CURRENTLY PILOTING THE CHLORINE DISPENSER SYSTEM IN MALAWI AND TANZANIA. AS OF MID-2013, WE HAVE PROVIDED 1 MILLION PEOPLE WITH ACCESS TO SAFE WATER.WASH BENEFITS IS ONE OF THE LARGEST AND MOST AMBITIOUS PROJECTS IN IPA'S TEN-YEAR HISTORY. ITS PURPOSE IS TO FIND THE MOST EFFECTIVE APPROACHES TO PREVENTING DIARRHEAL DISEASE THROUGH IMPROVEMENTS IN WATER QUALITY, SANITATION, AND HYGIENE. WASH BENEFITS GREW OUT OF PREVIOUS IPA RESEARCH IN KENYA THAT AIMED TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE TREATING THEIR WATER WITH CHLORINE, AN EFFECTIVE AND SAFE WAY TO KILL THE PATHOGENS THAT CAUSE DISEASE. CHLORINE IS INEXPENSIVE AND READILY AVAILABLE IN WESTERN KENYA, YET IPA RESEARCHERS MICHAEL KREMER AND EDWARD MIGUEL, TOGETHER WITH JESSICA LEINO AND ALIX ZWANE, FOUND THAT ONLY EIGHT PERCENT OF SURVEYED HOUSEHOLDS HAD DETECTABLE CHLORINE IN THEIR WATER. BY INSTALLING CHLORINE DISPENSERS NEAR WATER COLLECTION SITES, THE RESEARCHERS WERE ABLE TO INCREASE THE PERCENTAGE OF HOUSEHOLDS WITH CHLORINE-TREATED WATER TO 61 PERCENT GREATER THAN 600 PERCENT INCREASE THAT RESULTED IN LESS DISEASE.CHLORINE TREATMENT IS IMPORTANT, BUT IT IS NOT THE ONLY OPTION. OTHER RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT SANITATION AND HYGIENE CAN PREVENT POST-TREATMENT CONTAMINATION OF WATER, AND THAT CHILDREN UNDER TWO YEARS OF AGE FURTHER BENEFIT FROM NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS. THESE APPROACHES RAISE QUESTIONS ABOUT WHICH INTERVENTION IS THE MOST EFFECTIVE, AND WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THEY ARE COMBINED. THE WASH BENEFITS PROJECT WILL PRODUCE ANSWERS IN A FIVE-YEAR STUDY IN WESTERN KENYA THAT INVOLVES MORE THAN 100,000 PEOPLE IN 1,000 COMMUNITIES. LAUNCHED IN 2011, THE PROJECT WILL ASSESS THE INDIVIDUAL AND COMBINED IMPACT OF SIX INTERVENTIONS, INCLUDING THE USE OF CHLORINE DISPENSERS AND OTHER SANITATION AND HYGIENE PROGRAMS. SOME PARTICIPANTS WILL ALSO RECEIVE NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS TO HELP SMALL CHILDREN GET THE NUTRIENTS THEY NEED. RESEARCHERS WILL MEASURE A BROAD SUITE OF OUTCOMES, AND USE THE RESULTS TO HELP STEER GOVERNMENT AND PRIVATE RESOURCES TO THE MOST PROMISING PROGRAMS.Desc

DescEVALUATING THE AFRICAN HEALTH MARKET FOR EQUITY (AHME) IN GHANA AND KENYA: SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA ACCOUNTS FOR 24 PERCENT OF THE GLOBAL BURDEN OF DISEASE. WHILE PRIVATE CLINICS ARE THE FIRST SOURCE OF CARE FOR MANY AFRICANS, THE QUALITY OF CARE OFFERED IN PRIVATE FACILITIES IS INCONSISTENT AND OFTEN WEAK, AND THE PRIVATE HEALTHCARE SECTOR FACES A WIDE HOST OF CHALLENGES. IN THIS STUDY, IPA-AFFILIATED RESEARCHERS FROM UC BERKELEY AND UCSF WILL EVALUATE THE IMPACT OF A MULTI-PRONGED PRIVATE HEALTHCARE INITIATIVE ON HEALTHCARE UTILIZATION, QUALITY OF CARE, CLINIC FINANCIAL OUTCOMES, AND CHILD HEALTH OUTCOMES IN KENYA.POLICY ISSUE: SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA ACCOUNTS FOR 24 PERCENT OF THE GLOBAL BURDEN OF DISEASE, YET IT ONLY HAS 11 PERCENT OF THE WORLD'S POPULATION. THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEMS OF THE COUNTRIES IN THE REGIONS ARE FACING NUMEROUS CHALLENGES AT ONCE, INCLUDING LACK OF TRAINING AND ORGANIZATION, INSUFFICIENT STANDARDS AND QUALITY MONITORING, AND HIGH OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENDITURES. WHILE MANY EFFORTS TO ADDRESS PROBLEMS IN THE HEALTH CARE SECTOR HAVE FOCUSED ON GOVERNMENT CLINICS AND HOSPITALS, PRIVATE PROVIDERS ARE IN FACT THE FIRST SOURCE OF CARE FOR MANY AFRICANS. THOUGH MILLIONS OF PEOPLE RELY ON PRIVATE CLINICS, REGULATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF QUALITY CARE IN PRIVATE FACILITIES IS GENERALLY WEAK, AND THE PRIVATE HEALTHCARE SECTOR IS NOT STRUCTURED TO ENSURE EITHER QUALITY OR AFFORDABILITY. THESE ISSUES HAVE IMPELLED GOVERNMENTS AND NGOS TO TURN THEIR ATTENTION TO IMPROVING CARE IN PRIVATE FACILITIES. THUS FAR, MANY PROGRAMS HAVE AIMED TO SOLVE INDIVIDUAL CONSTRAINTS TO PROVIDING HIGH-QUALITY HEALTH CARE, BUT FEW HAVE INTERVENED ON MULTIPLE FRONTS SIMULTANEOUSLY. A MULTI-FACETED APPROACH HAS NOT BEEN TESTED. THIS RESEARCH WILL FILL THIS GAP BY TESTING AN INITIATIVE THAT ADDRESSES MULTIPLE HEALTH CHALLENGES IN THE REGION AT ONCE.CONTEXT OF THE EVALUATION:GHANA, KENYA AND NIGERIA, THE COUNTRIES PARTICIPATING IN THE AFRICAN HEALTH MARKET FOR EQUITY (AHME) INITIATIVE, ALL HAVE LARGE POPULATIONS, A HIGH DISEASE BURDEN, HIGH OUT-OF-POCKET PAYMENTS FOR HEALTHCARE, AND THEY ARE ALL WORKING TO EXPAND THE REACH OF THEIR HEALTH INSURANCE PROGRAMS. THE INITIATIVE WAS DESIGNED AND IS BEING IMPLEMENTED BY MARIE STOPES INTERNATIONAL, POPULATION SERVICES INTERNATIONAL, PHARMACCESS FOUNDATION, GRAMEEN FOUNDATION, THE INTERNATIONAL FINANCE CORPORATION, AND SOCIETY FOR FAMILY HEALTH.Desc
