Fact 1:You can buy a Coca-Cola virtually anywhere in the World. Even in developing countries.
Fact 2:1 in 7 children in developing counties die before their 5th birthday.
Diarrhea-Related Dehydration Still a Top-Killer of Children in Developing World
8
Over 1 million children still dying from diarrhea-related death each year
More children die from diarrhea related illness than Malaria, HIV/AIDS and Measles combined
No real progress in the last 25 years
Fact 3:
Why the Emphasis on ORS? MDG # 4 - Time is Running Out!
Millenium Development Goal #4: Reduce by two-thirds, between 1990 and 2015, the mortality rate of children under 5

Mortality dropped 1.8% per year (1990-2008)

A first operational trial has started in late 2011 in Zambia
Key, overarching research questions for this first trial are:
1.To what extent can the informal Coca-Cola distribution chains be used to improve access to ORS, zinc and other simple interventions through ‘last mile’ retailers in under-served rural communities?
2. What effect does this have in supporting mothers/care-givers in home-based management of diarrhoea in children 0-59 months of age?
3.Run the pilot and publish the experience live

Where are we now?
• The Ministry of Health policy is to encourage innovation and public private partnerships
• UNICEF Zambia and other agencies supported the trial design from an early stage
• Awareness of ORS alone is good; zinc usage is low
• Private sector supply of ORS/zinc is very weak, especially in rural areas
• Diarrhoea mortality and dehydration in under 5’s still remains a problem
• Ease of doing business is relatively high, with English widely used
• Mobile phone ownership and penetration is fairly good and improving quickly
• Mobile money initiatives are established and are developing quickly
• Projects exist locally from which we can learn
• The Coca-Cola bottler, Zambian Breweries plc, is supportive, with a track record of innovative
• CSR projects
Why Zambia?
• Affordability; low cost products (e.g. production localised or adapted for affordability)
• Desirability: maintaining quality and desirability of product
• Access and availability, delivering products when and where customers need them
• Potential to scale up/drive down costs
• Adapted business models with a full understanding of the market and customers
• End to end organisation of the supply chain
• Focus, to build a value system around a narrow range of products
Potential success factors
• Using ‘soft funding’ to investigate/establish innovations which then convert to marketable products
• Time to develop and scale up
• ‘Para-skilling’ of non experts (e.g. shop-keepers in simple medicines)
• Piggy-backing distribution
• Ability to communicate the value proposition to all customers and stakeholders
• Sustainability (based on an appropriate combination of at least some of the above factors)
And a few more…

ColaLife Pilot | Results Framework | Zambia
To reduce deaths due to diarrhoea among children under 5 yrs (0-59 months)
Mothers and care-givers adopt appropriate practices to help prevent and treat diarrhoea in under 5s (0-59m) in selected under-served rural communities.
Profit-driven distribution chains supply affordable anti-diarrhoea kits through ‘last mile’ retailers in under-served rural communities.
