Capabilities Narrative:
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 a small, woman-owned, business which works with
a broad range of donors, partners and stakeholders to pursue this mission, including USAID, UNICEF, the Government of Zambia and Traditional Leaders. Although we work across the Southern Africa
region, 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 (across 28,000 villages) as well as at the central level in Angola, Botswana, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Swaziland and Zimbabwe.
