Check us out at 3rd annual International Conference on Public Health in Africa this week! Our team had a great time engaging with our technical partners, Ministry of Health staff from across Africa, and other implementers in Lusaka this week.

Let's get up close and personal with some maps! At the recent vector control microplanning workshop in Copperbelt Province last month, district malaria elimination officers review the road networks, geography, and population estimates per health facility catchment to determine which communities should receive indoor residual spray or insecticide-treated nets, and the requisite amounts of each.

Take a peak inside our recent vector control microplanning workshop, which took place in Copperbelt Province, Zambia last month! Akros staff lead the district IRS managers and malaria elimination officers to utilize maps with settlement structure and population estimates to allocate staffing and vector control resources efficiently, ensuring that no communities miss out on vector control!

Reveal team members have been having a great time

Reveal team members have been having a great time this week at the #GlobalGoods Innovators Summit hosted by Digital Square at PATH in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania! 🇹🇿

The last day is tomorrow, so come meet Akros' own Livashan Soobramoney and Trevlan Bahadur in person as we finish the week strong exploring the three S's—Standards and interoperability, Security and privacy, and Sustainability—which are critical development challenges facing the digital health community right now.

Zambia has experienced low reporting rates of AEFI

Zambia has experienced low reporting rates of AEFIs during the roll out COVID-19 vaccines. To help improve this situation, Akros Research, through the Saving Lives and Livelihoods program (an initiative of the @AfricaCDC in partnership with the @MastercardFoundation) supported the EPI unit to conduct safety surveillance training sessions for Pharmacists and Surveillance officers from three provinces in Zambia: Muchinga (pictured above), Northern, and Luapula. 140 provincial and district staff were trained as trainers. After this training, Akros will provide resources to cascade their knowledge to the relevant staff members at the facility level to help improve AEFI reporting. Over time, EPI and Akros are monitoring the situation to assess improvements.

Ensuring Djibouti’s equitable access to safe and

Ensuring Djibouti’s equitable access to safe and efficacious vaccines requires global action and financial support. In December 2022, Akros Research supported the Djibouti MOH to set up a new safety surveillance system. This support was provided under the safety surveillance component of the Saving Lives and Livelihoods program, an initiative of @AfricaCDC in partnership with @MastercardFoundation. The support includes capacity building of staff from various regions and developing and producing AEFI data guidelines and monitoring tools. The Djibouti MOH welcomes the new reporting channel.
