The Akros Approach
CHOOSING THE RIGHT TOOLS FOR THE JOB
We drill down to the basics. What do you actually need? What are the tools you need to get you there without unnecessary bells and whistles?
CONTEXT IS KING
Knowing the intricacies of where you work is paramount. We involve local leadership and keep everyone involved with feedback loops.
WE DESIGN + BUILD
Not only do we design the right surveillance system for your needs, we walk along side you as the system is built and implemented.
LONG-HAUL THINKING
Many surveillance systems are designed to be used for one project for a specified period of time. So that’s how they’re designed. We don’t like that. Our systems are designed to be something that can be passed along to be used well into the future.

Hyperlocal geospatial data to guide COVID-19 vaccination in Senegal
Senegal is hardly alone in experiencing challenges with their COVID-19 vaccine roll out. Like many countries, much of the challenge has been related to hesitancy and demand.
