BRAC
BRAC's 1980–1990 Oral Therapy Extension Programme brought oral-rehydration teaching to roughly twelve million rural households through women educators, household demonstrations, sampled monitoring, and repeated changes to the delivery system. The evidence supports extraordinary reach and learning at scale, but it does not isolate BRAC's effect on mortality and does not erase the income and gender risks built into performance-linked pay.
How did BRAC turn oral rehydration from a laboratory and clinic treatment into knowledge that millions of rural households could use safely?
