Today, the world celebrates International Literacy

Today, the world celebrates International Literacy Day, a day intended to highlight the importance of literacy to individuals, communities, and societies. Many people don't realize that Akros has also supported education information systems! In 2017, Akros worked closely with the Zambian Ministry of General Education, @UNICEF, and the @WorldFoodProgramme under a DFID-funded program to define a monthly and termly education information system (including literacy rates) in Namwala District of Zambia's Southern Province. The system relied on mobile-to-web data collection through DHIS2.

Last month, the Akros Research team gathered in Addis Ababa alongside other implementing partners to formally launch the Saving Lives and Livelihoods initiative. This initiative, which is a collaboration between @AfricaCDC and @MastercardFoundation, is designed to save the lives and livelihoods of millions of people in Africa and hasten the continent’s economic recovery in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Akros will lend our technical expertise in the form of vaccine safety surveillance strengthening.

August is National Immunization Awareness Month. This is an annual observance held in August to highlight the importance of vaccination for people of all ages. As health seeking behaviors declined in the wake of COVID-19, it is ever more important to keep up with all of our routine immunizations, to prevent outbreaks of measles and other vaccine-preventable diseases. The household-level focus of Reveal is useful in deploying and tracking immunization campaigns across communities, and has been scoped to do just that. Let's do all we can to ensure we're all protected against vaccine-preventable diseases.

Reveal is not just a tool fit for use in Southern Africa. Last year marked the first year that Reveal was deployed in Nigeria, Africa's most populous country, for use in seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC). Together, @Malaria_Consortium and Akros worked with the Nigeria NMEP to support the planning, tracking, and delivery of SMC in six rural health facility catchments in Sokoto State in northern Nigeria in 2021.

Last month Akros had the pleasure of attending @WHO's Kigali Summit on Malaria and Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs). Hosted by the Government of Rwanda and taking place alongside the 26th Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM), the summit convened some of the most influential voices in global health, including world leaders, leading WHO figures, philanthropists, scientific experts, global influencers and community champions. The summit culminated with a Call to Action, focusing on the specific actions needed to end malaria and NTDs once and for all. Here is Akros' own David Ndayishimiye together with Eugene Ruberanziza from the RBC NTD Unit at the event. We are invigorated by the discussions from this summit and motivated to carry on the push to #beatNTDs.
