LoCo: Bridging the Gap in SRH & HIV Prevention Amidst Funding Cuts
The reinstatement of the Trump-era executive order for USAID funding has led to severe cuts in S*xual and Reproductive Health (SRH) and HIV prevention services, creating critical gaps in the availability, supply, and reporting of essential commodities. Over 60% of SRH commodities in many African countries are funded by USAID, making these cuts a major setback in the fight against HIV and unintended pregnancies. Innovative, sustainable solutions are needed to ensure continued access to SRH services.

LoCo: A Game-Changer in SRH & HIV Prevention LoCo, a mobile application, is uniquely positioned to bridge these gaps by leveraging technology and last-mile distribution mechanisms. Designed to be self-sustaining through delivery charges and commissions, LoCo ensures continued access to SRH commodities with minimal external support.

How LoCo Fills the Gap
✅ Targeted Distribution: LoCo links deliveries to specific groups, ensuring the neediest—adolescents, young women, and key populations—receive essential SRH commodities discreetly and efficiently. ✅ Sustainable SRH Commodity Access: By promoting socially marketed and commercial condoms alongside free condoms, LoCo enhances demand creation and access. ✅ Last-Mile & Community-Based Distribution: The app integrates mobile booth operators, peer promoters, and community health workers into the supply chain, providing incentives for local distributors and expanding access. ✅ Enhanced Digital Reporting: LoCo's real-time data collection and analytics reduce costs and improve national reporting on SRH and HIV prevention services.
