COOK STOVE CHALLENGE; BANGLADESH
PROVEN INTERVENTION TO BE DISTRIBUTED
Efficient, clean-burning cook stoves.
Learn more about the Cook Stove Challenge and how clean cook stoves reduce health and safety risks, lower fuel expenses, and help reduce poverty.
DISTRIBUTION MODEL INNOVATION
In rural and slum areas, families in Bangladesh confront large amounts of indoor air pollution caused by choice of cooking fuel, cooking location, construction material, and poor ventilation. Exposure to such indoor air pollution leads to harmful diseases like tuberculosis, asthma, and other respiratory diseases and disproportionately affect women and children. In Bangladesh, more than 90% of the total population uses biomass fuel for cooking and other heating purposes. The health burden of indoor air pollution exposure in the country is one of the largest in the world.
Unnoti will work with a local manufacturer of efficient cook stoves and sell these within the rural district of Comilla at an affordable price (about half the price of similar cook stoves on the market). The team will conduct surveys and awareness raising activities within the community.
PILOT AND SCALING GOALS
- Reach 300 households in 5 villages during the pilot
- Distribute 250 stoves during the pilot
- Benefit 500 people during the pilot
- Reach 35 households across 12 villages by the end of year 1

SOLAR LAMP CHALLENGE; INDIA
PROVEN INTERVENTION TO BE DISTRIBUTED
Three solar products including solar lamps and solar lanterns.
Learn more about the Solar Lamp Challenge and how these lamps create enormous benefits for developing world families.
DISTRIBUTION MODEL INNOVATION
In the absence of electricity, homes frequently turn to kerosene-based light sources for illuminating their homes. The largest use of subsidized kerosene in the world is in India with around 380 million in 2011 using kerosene as a primary lighting source.
EnEff (Energy Efficiency) will improve access to solar lamps to families in Rajasthan, India through a unique distribution network, a consumer-oriented finance scheme, and a focus on large-scale skill development of individuals living in rural areas with a unique referral scheme.
EnEff will first hold meetings with local farmers, women's groups, local leaders, and small business owners to better understand energy and product needs in target communities. Distribution of solar lamps will be initiated through gram panchayats (locally elected governing bodies) which are active and respected by the local population in order to build public trust in the product and its benefits. The Solar products will also be distributed through NGOs and Village Local Entrepreneurs to end consumers. Distribution channels will include a referral scheme in which every successful referral will earn the referee cash back on the initial value of their purchase amount. To benefit from this scheme, a customer will have a short compulsory briefing from the EnEff team in servicing and sales, indirectly creating a skilled workforce and a trained sales team at minimal cost to the company. Distribution will be coupled with a broad marketing and awareness raising campaign.
PILOT AND SCALING GOALS
Reach 2600 beneficiaries by the end of the three month pilot
Sell 650 solar lamps by the end of the pilot phase
Sell 8,000 solar lamps by the end of year 1

Learn more about the Maternal Health Challenge and how the distribution of Misoprostol, a $3 drug that can prevent maternal deaths from postpartum hemorrhage, could save thousands of lives.
DISTRIBUTION MODEL INNOVATION
African 1000 Days Action brings affordable, quality maternal healthcare to poor women with limited access to primary healthcare services. The organization trains facility-based healthcare providers and traditional birth attendants to administer Misoprostol as a postpartum hemorrhage prevention method. The organization will ensure an effective supply chain in the Upper Nile State region of South Sudan to allow the drug to be available at an affordable price and will establish a modern pharmacy to distribute Misoprostol. To begin, African 1000 Days Action will obtain a written official approval from the South Sudanese Ministry of Health for the implementation of the project. The team notes that this is a crucial step in a post-conflict country where many regions are still militarized and the local project staff may need to frequently demonstrate that the project is approved by authorities. Then African 1000 Days Action will conduct meetings with important stakeholders including the Chinese Petroleum Extraction Company airline which is the only transportation available to reach their pilot location from Juba, South Sudan's capital city.
The organization will focus on identifying and training traditional birth attendants. In South Sudan, around 80% of mothers deliver at home assisted by traditional birth attendants. While public healthcare institutions suffer from a lack of equipment and human resources, private pharmacists, drug shop owners, and private clinical officers have built expansive networks within the community and are playing a vital role in providing health services to remote communities. Private healthcare providers and traditional birth attendants will be chosen from this group to train on the correct use of misoprostol.
PILOT AND SCALING GOALS
- Train 500 healthcare providers and 1,000 Traditional Birth Attendants (TBAs) to administer misoprostol during the pilot
- Grow to 5,000 healthcare providers and over 10,000 TBA trainees by the end of 2019
- Ensure misoprostol supply chain to mothers during childbirth in rural areas
