Apposit implemented an innovative voucher program for MSIE aimed at increasing use of reproductive health and family planning services among marginalized groups in Ethiopia. Community Health Workers (CHW) use smart phones to collect demographic information and issue electronic vouchers to beneficiaries through door to door visits. The vouchers are redeemable at clinics where clinic staff use SMS to validate the vouchers and record the services redeemed by the clients. Using transaction data generated through SMS, the system manages financial records of settlements due to the service providers as well as incentives paid to CHWs. A call center referral system is also being developed currently to scale up the voucher system.
