The ORS and zinc: A policy and advocacy primer outlines the current global status of ORS and zinc uptake and key actions to increase their scale-up, as well as advocate and communicate about improving access and use.

PATH, with funding from the United States Agency for International Development and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, reviewed literature and existing data sources and carried out 37 key informant interviews with global- and country-level stakeholders from five countries: Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Kenya, Nigeria, and Pakistan.

The findings summarized in this primer include key actions to scaling ORS and zinc, strategies for successful implementation, and priority areas for investment to advance progress.
