As one of the case's authors, I very much agree that a case study in itself will not solve any problems, and that it's the actions taken due to the case study that will count.

Though I'm no longer working with WRI, I can say that WRI's "What Works" cases have been the basis of some of WRI's more action-oriented work. The knowledge from the case studies in the health sector, for example, has been used to engage with several different development organizations to promote or support work in private sector based healthcare delivery. As a think tank, however, WRI has had limited ability to take on direct roles with the case study enterprises, such as funding or managing them in any sense.

The best hope the case studies have of generating active involvement and funds for the enterprises is through their readership. I'd be thrilled if those who know of CareShop through the case study were interested to contribute to the enterprise in some way. If, Peter, you'd be interested to offer CIA reporting to CareShop, or if other readers would like to contact CareShop regarding other possibilities, I would be happy to help in making the connection.
