PSI makes it easier for people in the developing world to lead healthier lives and plan the families they desire by marketing affordable products and services.
Partners and Friends, Since 1970, PSI has helped our consumer, Sara and her family, live a healthier life. Today over 9,000 PSI employees work across nearly 60 countries to make it easier for Sara to be healthy, and plan the family she desires, by marketing affordable products and services. Now, the era of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is upon us. SDG-17 calls us to “revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development.” It will take creative partnership to bring all sectors– government, private, civil, and NGOs– together to ensure greater progress towards sustainable development and an end to extreme poverty. PSI is grateful to the partners who help us break down barriers and mobilize new resources and approaches to meeting Sara’s needs, including sales and marketing expertise, research and development capabilities, and highlevel business know-how. Our 12 strategic and corporate partners have shown a commitment to invest in emerging markets, to share their business development knowledge with us, and to embrace working in an iterative, “learn fast” culture in nearly 20 countries. These investments ensure that Sara’s family can thrive. Thank you to all who share our commitment to Sara. We look forward to creating healthy markets and sustaining healthy partnerships with you in the years to come.
Sincerely,
Karl Hofmann, President & CEO, PSI

Innovations & Impact Testing innovative solutions and scaling up proven concepts is essential to achieving global development goals and expanding the reach of our partners’ business impact. Through PSI’s uncompromising focus on measurable health impact, we evaluate our effect on disease much like the private sector measures a return on investments. This year, PSI and our partners reached more than 400,000 people with information on hypertension screening and treatment, screened over 7,000 expectant mothers for gestational diabetes, and tested for or treated over 10,000 cases of malaria.

ADDRESSING GESTATIONAL DIABETES MELLITUS With support from Novo Nordisk and the World Diabetes Foundation, PASMO’s Red Segura* social franchises in Nicaragua offer prenatal clients access to screening, diagnosis and treatment for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). This program, the first of its kind to address GDM as a public health issue in Nicaragua, helps cast light on a global problem and provides a life-saving intervention for mothers and children.

MAKING SANITATION FINANCING ACCESSIBLE Unilever’s Domex Toilet Academy is working in partnership with PSI and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, to make sanitation financing accessible to both sanitation entrepreneurs and households in Bihar, India. This innovative financing model, using local microfinance providers, enables sanitation entrepreneurs to access loans and training that create self-sustaining businesses focused on the selling, constructing, and maintenance of toilets. As part of this initiative, households are educated about the benefits of toilet ownership and adopting better hygiene habits, supporting a reduction in child deaths and illness in India. Additionally, it offers consumers access to loans to help ensure that they can afford to purchase these much-needed toilets. With a growth in consumer demand and stronger business skills for entrepreneurs, the community is able to pay back their initial loans and thereby create a larger investment pool that can support others and ensure sustainability. This initiative aims to sell and install 115,000 household toilets and reach up to 600,000 people by late 2017. Progress to date in the first year of implementation (as of December 2015):
18,450 households have bought toilets
176 entrepreneurs have been trained

We highly value our partnership with PSI because of our shared understanding of the importance of addressing the burden of chronic diseases in developing countries and also because of our willingness to learn how Healthy Heart Africa can be tailored over time to address a complex global challenge. Integrating hypertension into the communicable disease platforms across Kenya has had promising results, and we look forward to continuing our partnership with PSI. –Mark Mallon, Executive Vice President, International, AstraZeneca

TACKLING HYPERTENSION IN AFRICA In 2015, AstraZeneca’s Healthy Heart Africa (HHA) initiative committed to treating 10 million people for hypertension in Africa by 2025. In collaboration with Population Services Kenya* (PS Kenya) and national partners, HHA is improving the health of people at risk for hypertension through increased awareness and education of risk factors, enhanced training and treatment guidelines for providers, and greater access to quality screening, treatment, and affordable medications by leveraging the health services offered through PS Kenya’s Tunza social franchise clinics. Through this initiative, PS Kenya is reaching people with the highest risk of developing hypertension yet the lowest number of resources for testing and treatment. During the initial pilot, the program evolved to reduce patient loss to follow-up by applying extra effort and resources toward clients who had been diagnosed but had not returned for additional treatment or medicine.
Screened, diagnosed and treated hypertension in over 70 facilities across four counties
Trained 175 community health volunteers
Reached 447,720 people

IMPROVING MATERNAL HEALTH IN UGANDA With support from MSD for Mothers, the MSD* for Ugandan Mothers Program (MUM), implemented by PSI and its network member in Uganda, PACE, brings together the key components of the maternal health ecosystem to improve private sector quality, accessibility and affordability of care. Since this program began in 2012, participating health facilities have provided quality care for over 30,000 births. At the Good Samaritan Clinic outside of Kampala, Mama Jane, owner and head nurse balances her time checking in on patients, talking with her community outreach workers, reviewing lab reports and calling women who have missed appointments. Amidst the bustle of her day she explains that prior to receiving support from the MUM project,
I wasn’t as busy as I am now. It’s that simple. They have provided me training, affordability and availability.
–Mama Jane, MUM Clinic Owner
Mama Jane is now trained in providing comprehensive family planning and maternal health care including child birthing services, postpartum family planning, and cervical cancer screening and infection prevention. She has also learned small business management skills, helping grow her services to nearly 30 patients a day and the safe delivery of 25 babies a month. Mama Jane says her clinic provides “a lot of love.” Now that MUM has proven that private providers like Mama Jane can deliver quality care and successfully run a business, MSD for Mothers will support PACE to investigate how to make social franchises offering quality care financially sustainable.

Cross-sector collaborations are needed to strengthen health systems, not only for emergency response but also for sustained recovery in health and wealth. PSI and our partners work daily to create and maintain strong health systems globally. When a crisis occurs, adding pressure and tension to an often already strained health system, both immediate and long-term challenges need to be addressed. PSI leverages our strengths, existing programs and knowledge to create sustainable networks and interventions to increase resilience. This year alone, PSI and partners collaborated to provide access to life saving products, such as anti-bacterial soaps and clean water via household water purification packets, in response to natural disasters that crippled communities in Nepal, Myanmar, and the Ebola epidemic that consumed West Africa. We would like to commend our partners at Procter & Gamble and Unilever and the entire global health community for responding to such crises with much-needed products, services and financial support. 16
COMBATTING MALARIA IN CAMEROON Working with local governments, healthcare facilities and community health workers, PSI, ACMS* and ExxonMobil have delivered public education campaigns and distributed insecticide treated bed nets in communities along the Chad-Cameroon Pipeline. This work is reducing the number of preventable deaths due to disease by treating malaria, diarrhea, and pneumonia, allowing us to test and treat:
10,562 cases of malaria
1,961 cases of diarrhea
2,149 cases of pneumonia
INVESTING IN NGOs TO INCREASE IMPACT In today’s changing donor environment, PSI is looking to stay ahead of the curve by offering innovative and sustainable solutions to financing development. Expanding on 2014’s creation of a framework for private investment in global health programs, PSI, Zurich Insurance Group (Zurich) and USAID are working together to design a development investment bond (DIB). Any DIB requires at least three types of players; an investor who invests capital to fund a project at the outset, an implementer, responsible for delivering health outcomes and an outcome payer, the party who pays back the investor when an intended outcome is achieved. A DIB allows for a creative merger of the private sector’s business acumen and the expertise of practitioners to transform access to health services. The implementation of a DIB has the potential to create health impact and a financial return.
IN ORDER TO CREATE A DIB, YOU MUST HAVE:
Investor: Invests private capital to fund project at the outset
Health Implementer: Responsible for delivering health outcomes

Outcome Payer: Pays back investor when intended outcomes are achieved *Association Camerounaise pour le Marketing Social (ACMS) is an independent network member of PSI

Investing in People Together, with our partners, we are building a community of people committed to ensuring Sara has access to the health products and services that she needs. Investing in people and their professional development helps us cultivate and retain high quality experts and leaders in our field. This year we have invested in PSI employees though trainings and capacity building workshops and have worked with partners at Alere, Eli Lilly & Company, Merck and Pfizer to host fellowships. The desire to nurture our global health network through knowledge exchange has cultivated stronger partnerships and enhanced the capacity of partners and PSI alike.

Alere shares PSI’s commitment to eradicating HIV globally and to improving quality of care for those newly diagnosed with HIV. Be it distributing 1 million HIV tests in 10 low-income countries or enabling our Alere Fellows to help develop new approaches to linkage to care, we are proud to work with PSI to drive better health outcomes.
STRENGTHENING LINKAGES AND REFERRALS Alere, a PSI partner since 2011, undertook its first fellowship program in 2015. Over 12 weeks in Washington, D.C. and Swaziland, two Alere Fellows used their expertise in both HIV testing and workflow management to analyze PSI’s work in linkages and referrals. Their findings identified several opportunities for improvement in linkage to care. Working closely with PSI, the Alere Fellows developed recommendations on interventions to help close linkage gaps which were then communicated across PSI’s network to help create standardized practices of referrals and linkages. This included a set of tools and procedures to increase the capacity of community health workers and health clinics to ensure more patients are tested and when diagnosed, can be linked to treatment and support for HIV. Trials to implement these new tools are planned for 2016 – a great outcome of a very successful partnership between PSI and Alere.
– Namal Nawana, CEO & President, Alere

BUILDING CAPACITY THROUGH FELLOWSHIPS Since 2005, twenty-six Pfizer employees have volunteered their time and skills to 12 PSI independent and network member countries through Pfizer’s Global Health Fellows program. This international corporate volunteer program places Pfizer colleagues in short term assignments with leading international development organizations to help strengthen access to healthcare in underserved communities around the world. In 2015, Population Services Khmer (PSK), PSI’s independent network member in Cambodia, hosted a Pfizer Fellow whose work aimed to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of PSK’s overall provider program. Through a landscape analysis the Fellow was able to create communication tools and training materials to help strengthen provider interactions and improve cost efficiencies within the program. Ultimately, this work can lead to greater health impact and service delivery across Cambodia.
Since 2005, Pfizer’s Global Health Fellowship program has contributed an approximate
26,000 HOURS
to PSI’s independent and network members
LEARNING EXCHANGE BETWEEN ETHIOPIA AND MYANMAR Building on knowledge gained over a decade of partnership, Procter & Gamble (P&G) sponsored staff from PSI/Myanmar* to visit PSI/Ethiopia** for an in-depth learning exchange. By utilizing PSI’s network to share valuable information on best practices and institutional knowledge of the P&G Children’s Safe Drinking Water Program, the exchange enhanced awareness of the global clean water crisis and its intersection with other health areas. This allowed colleagues to utilize PSI/ Ethiopia’s successful programming to inform PSI/Myanmar’s comprehensive child health strategy.

UNDERSTANDING AND MANAGING DIABETES PSI/India* welcomed four Eli Lilly and Company (Lilly) employees through the Lilly Connecting Hearts Abroad (CHA) Volunteer Program. They provided support to Project UDAY, a program funded by the Lilly NCD Partnership, focused on developing and implementing a comprehensive approach to improve prevention, treatment, and optimal management of diabetes and high blood pressure in India. During their two-week assignment, the CHA volunteers assessed the existing communication materials being used, and specifically their impact on health seeking behaviors. They also examined pharmacy engagement in Project UDAY to improve the effectiveness of diabetes and hypertension management.

SHARING THE VALUE OF SHARED VALUE PSI is a long-standing advocate for the concept of shared value – when companies recognize opportunities for innovation and growth in treating social problems as business objectives. Since 2014, we have been a member of FSG’s Shared Value Initiative and a founding member of their INGO Affinity Group, which helps create greater opportunities for partnership and increase collaboration among global development professionals. In June of 2015, five PSI employees from key technical and country teams joined development colleagues from 17 other INGOs at FSG’s Shared Value Practitioner’s Forum in Istanbul. Shared value strategy, tools, and best practices were explored for development professionals to better communicate and innovate with business leaders and equip field practitioners in designing and executing shared value projects.
We’re seeing a new wave of companies working to bring business and society back together by redefining their purpose as creating “shared value”— generating economic value in a way that also produces value for society by addressing its challenges. The NGO community has an opportunity to be full partners in addressing these challenges, through on the ground experience and consumer insights as well as a continued focus on the social needs of the community. –Mark Kramer, Founder & Managing Director, FSG

Influence We live in an increasingly connected world whereby every action has the potential to create change. As a global health organization, PSI’s singular aim is to achieve measurable health impact, but through partnerships we can build on each other’s commitment and passion to create even greater effect. As purpose and profit morph into smart business, PSI and its partners continue to influence the global health network by sharing meaningful insights that stimulate innovation and sustain growth. In 2015, PSI advocated on a number of global health issues including youth and contraception, noncommunicable diseases, shared value, the role of partnerships and the SDGs, the continuum of care, gestational diabetes mellitus, and women and girls.
25
UNITING SECTORS Accenture Development Partnerships works with leading international development organizations to address complex social issues around the world. Accenture recently authored an article on PSI’s Impact Blog amplifying the need for traditional private sector donor partnerships to evolve into more equal and inclusive business ventures. With the shared goal and belief that uniting the public and private sectors is paramount to achieve the greatest impact, PSI and Accenture are exploring opportunities to design and scale social business models and proven health solutions. Accenture is also teaming with PSI to strengthen its strategy, operations, and market dynamics globally.
ADVANCING TRUTH IN CONTRACEPTION
The World Contraception Day (WCD) Coalition, sponsored by Bayer and of which PSI is a member, advocates for improving access to contraception and information globally. On WCD 2015, the Truth Report was released to highlight the growing body of research surrounding misconceptions of sex and contraception, which lead to an increased knowledge gap and low awareness of sexual and reproductive health. Commissioned by Bayer, the report echoes PSI’s belief in Health Care Provider’s (HCPs) ability to help overcome barriers in access to and information about health services. The report recognized the importance of removing barriers to contraception, improving the conversation between youth and HCPs, and the impact of different cultures’ perceptions on contraception and family planning methods, like long acting contraceptives (LAC). PSI’s Global Medical Director, Dr. Paul Blumenthal, provided expert commentary saying,
Family planning, and particularly LAC, can provide youth and young women with safe, effective and highly acceptable protection against unintended pregnancy and can provide this safeguard for years, so young women can view LAC as an excellent means of both promoting safe and ready motherhood and protecting themselves against unintended pregnancy. –Dr. Paul Blumenthal, Global Medical Director, PSI 26
ADVOCATING FOR WOMEN AND GIRLS At the 2015 Clinton Global Initiative Annual Meeting, PSI’s long-term partner Procter & Gamble (P&G) announced their global goal to help 100 million women and girls build confidence and enjoy healthier lives. To celebrate the commitment, P&G themed their annual topic dinner, ‘Giving Girls a Chance,’ and invited Ashley Judd, PSI Global Ambassador, to provide a keynote address to President Clinton and invited guests. She applauded,
P&G for their leadership in developing creative partnerships, entrepreneurial opportunities and instilling the confidence that helps women break down barriers. –Ashley Judd, PSI Global Ambassador In our eleventh year of partnership, PSI is excited to work with P&G to deliver 15 billion liters of clean drinking water to women, girls and others by 2020 through the P&G Children’s Safe Drinking Water Program.
27
PARTNERING FOR GREATER ACCESS TO QUALITY HEALTHCARE PSI’s President and CEO Karl Hofmann was joined by our partner John Lechleiter, Chairman, President & CEO of Eli Lilly and Company and Adrian Gore, Founder and CEO of the Discovery Group to deliver the keynote address at FSG’s annual Shared Value Summit. They highlighted the necessity for the private sector and NGOs to work collaboratively to create greater access to quality healthcare worldwide.
The only way we’re going to have any chance of achieving sustainable economic growth and making this planet one on which we can all prosper, is through smarter partnership. – Karl Hofmann, President & CEO, PSI

ADVANCING MULTI-SECTOR ENGAGEMENT PSI was honored to be invited as a founding NGO Advisor onto the Devex Impact Strategic Advisory Council, a joint initiative between Devex, a media platform for the global development community, and USAID. Through this intersection of business and development leaders, the council members will work together to tackle some of the world’s most pressing challenges.
From its start, PSI has been one of the most innovative organizations in the global health space. This leadership is why we immediately looked toward the organization to be on the Devex Impact Strategic Advisory Council. And we’re thrilled with the results so far.

The Way Forward Partnership had various names in 2015, including shared value, corporate social responsibility, philanthropy and social investment or enterprise. While the lexicon is evolving and the impact created varying, the message remains the same: partnerships across sectors are needed to create change in every corner of the globe. Partnerships, specifically those that combine the strength and influence of the private sector with the depth and strategy of the development sector, enable all to reach new markets and engage new Sara’s. Acknowledging that trillions of dollars of purchasing power lie in Sara’s pocket, PSI markets health products and services that will attract her interest, delight her with their effectiveness, and improve her health. It’s quite simple– we can create health impact and positively influence a bottom line. Partnership has the ability to grow into something larger than the sum of its parts; the value of these collaborations often exceed the amount of investment exchanging hands. Our ability to influence the global health arena through provocative leadership, joint advocacy, and measured results would not be as impactful without engagement from our corporate partners. While the partnership journey has evolved over the years from philanthropy to shared value, PSI is not stopping there. We will continue to embrace business and markets as the most efficient way to change Sara’s life for the better. In 2015, PSI added more than 30.6 million years of healthy life through condoms sold, malaria nets distributed, family planning options discussed and provided, entrepreneurs empowered, and disease and illness averted. That’s 30.6 million opportunities we created with all of our partners to impact lives for the better. Business exists at the bottom of the pyramid and the brave and savvy are already working with us to lead the way.
