Reveal is a collection of tools, including an Android mobile client supporting field operations, and a web interface supporting planning, management, and decision making surrounding the field implementations. The tool provides geospatial functionality to improve the efficiency of field based interventions, and utilizes high resolution satellite imagery over which location hierarchies and enumerated structures are layered. The current process for validating and uploading these data is manual and requires a relatively high level of technical expertise. This RFP aims to identify a contractor who will develop a user-friendly interface that can be used for location management, allowing non-technical users from program or ministry teams to handle the process.

In 2020, Reveal will be implemented in Nigeria to support the Malaria Consortium Seasonal Malaria Chemoprophylaxis (SMC) program known as SMC-ACCESS in one local government area. Operations will take place intermittently  from July through October, with a cumulative ~280 users using the Reveal mobile client and up to 60 referencing the web interface for review of routine data. In 2020, Reveal will also be deployed in Senegal, Zambia, Eswatini, Namibia, Thailand, and potentially other areas. This RFP aims at quickly identifying a development team to support the deployment of Reveal for application in Nigeria to support the SMC program. Additional opportunities to expand support to other countries may be added as a follow-on contract to the initial SMC work.

Akros seeking an experienced and qualified expert to fill the role of Hospital Management Systems Lead for an anticipated CDC-funded project that will assist the Government of Tanzania (GOT) in the management, coordination, scale-up, and continuous modernization of Tanzania’s health information systems (HIS).

The Hospital Management System Lead (HMS) will be responsible for engaging the hospital-specific technical workflows in achieving overall HIS integration. This will involve incorporating end-user and broader functional requirements into the larger GOT HIS technical road map, working closely with the infrastructure teams to ensure sufficient hardware and support services, overseeing integration with HIS verticals, assisting with interoperability layers and associated registries, and interacting directly with hospitals to coordinate partner supports for uptake and troubleshooting.

Akros seeking an experienced and qualified expert to fill the role of Lead Health Information Systems Project Manager (LHPM) for an anticipated CDC-funded project that will assist the Government of Tanzania (GOT) in the management, coordination, scale-up, and continuous modernization of Tanzania’s health information systems (HIS).

The LHPM will be a technocrat, negotiator, and government relations focal point. LHPM will be primarily responsible for managing the technical road map development process (“DH2020”), from requirements sourcing to technical translation, ensuring both its technical rigor, comprehensiveness, alignment with user requirements and, perhaps most critical, acceptance by varied and non-linear government agencies. The task will be challenging and politically complex. With a secured road map in-hand, LHPM will be responsible to coordinate oversight of engineering processes with select government agencies, and establish a development operations method that is clear, durable, and efficient, incorporating iterative production/testing stages and, ultimately, user acceptance testing to validate alignment of final product with perceived user requirements. LHPM will then manage engineering inputs to deliver DH2020 technical products, and will be responsible for agile/iterative rescoping as defined by the development operations method above.

Akros is seeking a Logistics Advisor to act as the key logistics and supply chain technical advisor in the design and execution of complex drug distribution processes at the community level across 69 districts in Zambia during the DFID-funded ASCEND project’s Lymphatic Filariasis mass drug administration campaign. The Advisor will be responsible for:

1. Working with Akros staff and Ministry of Health officials to complete a drug audit prior to distribution activities
2. Designing and executing effective, feasible, and timely logistic mechanisms and supply
   chain management protocols to guide commodity management during MDA campaigns
3. Developing robust reverse logistic reporting and tracking tools and protocols
