The policy context for ColaLife (2). Diarrhoea is a key contributor.

If we can get fast moving consumer goods to remote rural areas, why can’t we do the same thing for essential medicines?

The vision

Our initial focus was the use of unused space in Coca-Cola crates as a delivery mechanism, but we have gone on to create an ‘end-to-end’ value chain: using Coca-Cola’s techniques and advice; using their wholesalers, who are well known in rural towns and have good warehousing and inventory control practices.

So far none of our registered retailers have used this technique to transport Kit Yamoyos.

We have designed a 4g/200ml sachet of ORS for the home treatment of diarrhoea and this is now being manufactured in Zambia. We believe this is an ‘Africa first’. A mother using a 20g/1litre sachet (and following the instructions) would throw most of it away.

Packing of kits into cartons at Pharmanova for delivery to Medical Stores Limited.

2

We are paying the para-statal, Medical Stores Limited, who are seeking to become ‘more private sector’, to deliver Kit Yamoyos to Coca-Cola wholesalers in Katete & Kalomo districts.

2

Kit Yamoyo cartons in stock at a Coca-Cola wholesaler. Wholesalers purchase the kits from the project and make a 20% profit on sales to retailers.

2

Retailers buy Kit Yamoyos from the general wholesaler (who is also the Coca-Cola wholesaler) when they visit the district town for other supplies. Using a Coca-Cola wholesaler helps guarantee quality as wholesalers are required by contract to carry out good warehousing and inventory practices. In addition, all retailers know where the Coca-Cola wholesaler is.

2

Kit Yamoyos for sale on the shelves in remote rural retail shops. Retailers make a profit of 35% on the sale of Kit Yamoyos but care-givers get a product the majority can afford. The project thus creates an end-to-end value chain with profits for entrepreneurs along the way.

2

Care-givers get reliable access to a life-saving product close to home.

2

The Kit Yamoyo is an innovative product. The packaging is a measure for making the ORS, it is a mixing device, a storage device and a cup. The ORS sachets make up an amount of ORS that is appropriate for the home treatment of diarrhoea.

Our strategy is to generate robust evidence on the elements of our approach that work; encourage the big players (MoHs, CHAI, UNICEF etc) to incorporate these elements into their own programs. ColaLife does not have the capacity for global roll-out but could be catalytic in achieving this through multi-sectoral partnerships.
