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. 5913152 50490 DISPENSERS 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. 1362784 433861 EVALUATING 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. 25835287 796266 25835287 796266 37609730 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 X 74 0 1 214 1 0 1 KE GH LI MI ML MX MO RP UG SL PE ZA BG 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 8 8 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 CT NJ NY CA CO FL IL MA MD OR PA VA WI AK AR X X VIVIAN BRADY-JONES 2037722216 101 WHITNEY AVENUE NEW HAVEN CT 06510 DEAN KARLAN FOUNDER, PRESIDENT 5.00 X X 0 0 0 GREGORY FISCHER DIRECTOR / TRUSTEE 5.00 X 0 0 0 JOSEPH MCCONNELL DIRECTOR / TRUSTEE 5.00 X 0 0 0 PARAS MEHTA DIRECTOR / TRUSTEE 5.00 X 0 0 0 JODI NELSON DIRECTOR / TRUSTEE 5.00 X 0 0 0 JAMES PRESCOTT DIRECTOR / TRUSTEE 5.00 X 0 0 0 STEVEN TOBEN DIRECTOR / TRUSTEE 5.00 X 0 0 0 KENTARO YOYAMA DIRECTOR / TRUSTEE 5.00 X 0 0 0 ANNIE DUFLO EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 132170 0 1260 THOMAS GRAY CFO 40.00 X 105773 0 700 KAREN LEVY RESEARCH DIRECTOR 40.00 X 105550 0 3028 JOHN HUGHES FORMER DIRECTOR OF FINANCE 40.00 X 101654 0 2951 445147 0 7939 4 0 0 0 0 7647308 32871011 40518319 7226 7226 40525545 0 0 7226 496088 496088 1536159 1536159 453086 417910 30079 5097 16115423 14864294 1069837 181292 21247 16420 4827 2437540 2242281 156327 38932 151101 151101 90338 48817 40596 925 149311 55718 93593 1891507 1532659 248950 109898 828836 747581 79500 1755 762225 666596 90213 5416 993436 896164 97272 3263847 3146902 94821 22124 420796 375553 42683 2560 1135 1135 81346 42297 39049 SURVEY EXPENSE 6899524 6899524 MOTOR VEHICLE EXPENSE 1213147 1212415 40 692 SUBAWARDS 1091006 1090938 68 OTHER EXPENSES 864265 643850 189115 31300 527265 526463 802 40288628 37609730 2278105 400793 8506702 4746489 1211562 350088 196020 50000 11806311 18581288 240873 546143 879508 524958 256766 354550 154022 441014 22372256 25069572 1098752 1690200 19831113 21700064 20929865 23390264 X 1246371 1629308 196020 50000 1442391 1679308 22372256 25069572 236917 0 X X 0 1 X 1 1 1 X 18997069 26532400 29863735 36716750 40518319 152628273 18997069 26532400 29863735 36716750 40518319 152628273 54577055 98051218 29354 23203 25887 12856 7226 98526 152726799 0.64200 0.60370 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 336071 122531 213540 303661 180613 123048 239776 221814 17962 354550 40525545 0 40525545 0 40525545 40288628 0 40288628 0 40288628 1 CENTRAL AMERICA AND CARIBBEAN 0 1 PROGRAM SERVICES IMPACT EVALUATION 289096 EAST ASIA AND THE PACIFIC 2 52 PROGRAM SERVICES IMPACT EVALUATION 2050239 MIDDLE EAST AND NORTH AFRICA 1 5 PROGRAM SERVICES IMPACT EVALUATION 423787 NORTH AMERICA 1 86 PROGRAM SERVICES IMPACT EVALUATION 466355 SOUTH AMERICA 2 20 PROGRAM SERVICES IMPACT EVALUATION 1185654 SOUTH ASIA 1 212 PROGRAM SERVICES IMPACT EVALUATION 3928017 SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA 12 600 PROGRAM SERVICES IMPACT EVALUATION 29209765 EUROPE 1 1 PROGRAM SERVICES IMPACT EVALUATION 56815 20 977 0 0 20 977 37609728 0 37609728 SOUTH ASIA TARGETING ULTRA POOR 15342 WIRE TRANSFER SOUTH ASIA INDIA DEWORMING 93000 WIRE TRANSFER EAST ASIA AND THE PACIFIC PHILLIPINE KALAHI EVAL. 10660 WIRE TRANSFER SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA EVALUATION OF SPEED S 30873 WIRE TRANSFER SOUTH ASIA MOBILE MONEY PROJECT 21960 WIRE TRANSFER SOUTH AMERICA SMALL AND MEDIUM ENT 9735 WIRE TRANSFER SOUTH ASIA PARTNERSHIP GRANTS 15000 WIRE TRANSFER EUROPE AFRICAN SCOPING STUDY 16444 WIRE TRANSFER SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA HEALTH SIERRE LEONE 5120 WIRE TRANSFER SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA YOUTH ENTREPRENEURSHIP 20813 WIRE TRANSFER SOUTH ASIA SURVEY SRI LANKEN ENT. 90909 WIRE TRANSFER SOUTH ASIA INDIA FIELD SURVEY 33166 WIRE TRANSFER SOUTH AMERICA INDIA DEWORMING CAM. 679015 WIRE TRANSFER SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA ASSET TRANSFER AND CO. 20200 WIRE TRANSFER SOUTH ASIA TARGETING ULTRA POOR 12880 WIRE TRANSFER SOUTH ASIA BANGLADESH RCT WATER TREATMENT 9506 WIRE TRANSFER EUROPE SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISE 5000 WIRE TRANSFER SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA SENEGAL SANITATION VALUE CHAIN IN DAKAR 39580 WIRE TRANSFER PORTUGAL FERTILIZER COMMITMENT SAVINGS 6343 WIRE TRANSFER SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA EVALUATION OF CHC'S -
