Akros is a cutting-edge organization that establishes data-driven and technologically appropriate systems to improve the health and well-being of disadvantaged communities. We pride ourselves in our ground-level knowledge of the service delivery systems where we work, and our ability to provide novel, lasting solutions implemented in developing regions. Akros works hand in hand with government to develop and implement solutions which ensure ownership and sustainability. In water, sanitation & hygiene (WASH) Akros has revolutionized M&E in sub-Saharan Africa through development of a village-level surveillance system that captures live, real-time data and drives information back down to key stakeholders and change agents through robust feedback loops. The Akros team has also applied these same principles to develop the systems for monitoring indoor residual spray structure tracking for malaria, school-based access to sanitation and student performance, and participation of adolescent girls and young women through HIV programs, among others. Akros works with a broad range of donors, partners and stakeholders to pursue this mission, including USAID, UNICEF, Governments, and Traditional Leaders. The breadth of Akros’ projects have enabled our teams to establish working relationships at the sub-national and community levels in all ten provinces in Zambia, across nearly 40,000 villages as well as at the central level in Angola, Botswana, Gambia, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Rwanda, Senegal, South Africa, Swaziland and Zimbabwe. Although we work across the Southern Africa region, the majority of Akros’ staff members are based in Lusaka, Zambia.
