Climate & Resilience: Data Systems for a Changing World

A changing climate requires systems that can adapt. Akros applies geospatial intelligence and digital monitoring to help governments strengthen resilience in health, agriculture, water, and education.

The Problem

Climate change is reshaping the environments where people live, work, and access services. In many low- and middle-income countries, fragile systems face increasing strain from floods, droughts, vector shifts, and land insecurity. Resilience depends on governments’ ability to plan and adapt programs with timely, precise data.

Akros supports this need by embedding climate-smart data systems into core health, WASH, agriculture, and education services — equipping governments to manage climate-linked risks while sustaining long-term gains.

Our Approach

01

Geospatial Intelligence for Climate-Sensitive Diseases

Mapping and microplanning tools like Reveal enable programs to respond to malaria and other vector-borne diseases influenced by changing weather and ecosystems.

02

Land Tenure & Agricultural Security

Mobile DHIS2 tools developed under the USAID Global Climate Change and Land Tenure initiative in Zambia formalized rural land rights, building household security to invest in sustainable farming and resource management.

03

Water, Sanitation & Hygiene (WASH)

National surveillance systems (CLTS M2W, SLTS) help governments track sanitation uptake and water vulnerabilities, directly supporting climate resilience in communities exposed to water stress and flooding.

04

Education Infrastructure & Resilience

School sanitation facilities — including more than 800 latrines built under School-Led Total Sanitation — strengthen hygiene resilience in drought- and flood-prone areas.

Results & Impact

1.5 million new sanitation users in 18 months through CLTS M2W, creating community resilience to waterborne disease.

853 school latrines constructed under SLTS, reducing vulnerability to climate-linked hygiene disruptions.

Tens of thousands of land certificates generated in Eastern Zambia, securing tenure rights and enabling climate-resilient agriculture.

Malaria IRS and MDA campaigns optimized in climate-sensitive regions through Reveal, raising intervention effectiveness by up to 97%.
