About us

Akros is a cutting edge organization that establishes data-driven 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, Inc. is an economically disadvantaged, small, woman-owned, business which works with a broad range of donors, partners and stakeholders to pursue this mission, including USAID, UNICEF, and government ministerial bodies. Akros Research is a Zambian NGO that works closely with regional government counterparts to strengthen the health and wellbeing of community members through improved data use. Although we work across the Southern Africa region and provide technical assistance globally, the majority of Akros’ staff members are based in Lusaka, Zambia. The breadth of Akros’ projects have enabled our teams to establish working relationships at the sub-national and community levels in every province in Zambia as well as at the central level in Botswana, Ethiopia, Guinea, Kenya, Madagascar, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, South Africa, Swaziland, Tanzania, Thailand, and Zimbabwe.
