The Zinc Task Force

The Zinc Task Force (ZTF) is a collaborative group of international organizations and academic institutions working towards the accelerated delivery of zinc and Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS) for the management of diarrhea in low-income countries.

The ZTF serves as a technical working group to facilitate joint problem solving for global and national bottlenecks with regard to zinc procurement, delivery, and policy adaptation. The members maintain a repository of evidence, programmatic guidance, and work to further enhance improved delivery and scale-up around the world.
