About Acasus
We are a consultancy that drives major reforms in health and education around the world.
In health, we are contributing towards improving global immunization rates. To date, we have supported governments across Asia, Africa and South America to radically increase immunization coverage and improve access to basic healthcare facilities, prenatal and maternity clinics in remote areas. Our education projects in South America and the Middle East have successfully provided access to basic education for millions of children.
We work in teams to support senior government officials (typically at ministerial or prime-ministerial level) in driving rapid reforms. This includes:
Planning and developing strategies
Monitoring progress
Leveraging on data and other information to facilitate decision making
Building capacity and skills throughout the public system
Improving coordination and cooperation between stakeholders, funders and governments
Solving problems and challenges on the ground
Consolidating international evidence and lessons about what works
Our project teams consist of experienced international consultants and highly talented locally-hired staff.
