The Health Campaign Effectiveness Coalition is doing important work to broaden how we think about “campaign success.”

Their new Framework for Measuring Health Campaign Effectiveness looks beyond coverage alone, incorporating measures of access, acceptance, efficiency, and equity. That framing strongly reflects what we have learned through years of developing and deploying Reveal.

Digital campaign tools should do more than count activities. Reveal helps campaign teams understand who has been reached, who may have been missed, where gaps are occurring, and where teams and resources need to be redirected. By connecting geospatial microplanning with field-level implementation and near real-time monitoring, it gives programs much greater visibility into whether a campaign is actually succeeding across the populations it is intended to serve.

We’re encouraged to see the HCE Coalition advancing this conversation and providing countries with a practical framework for thinking more comprehensively about campaign effectiveness. https://campaigneffectiveness.org/a-framework-for-measuring-health-campaign-effectiveness/

Digital health has never been about technology for technology’s sake.

A recent multi-country study spanning 28 countries reinforces an important lesson: digital tools deliver the greatest value when they strengthen health systems, improve decision-making, and fit seamlessly into the way programs already operate.

At Akros, we’ve seen this firsthand. Whether supporting malaria elimination, immunization, neglected tropical disease programs, or disease surveillance, technology is most effective when it helps programs answer simple but critical questions:

• Where are the people we need to reach?
• Where are the gaps?
• What should we do next?
• Did we achieve the intended impact?

The future of digital health isn’t about building more apps. It’s about creating actionable information that enables ministries and their partners to make faster, better decisions—and ensuring those insights lead to action in the communities that need it most.

Evidence like this continues to reinforce that successful digital transformation depends as much on implementation, usability, and local ownership as it does on the technology itself.

Small improvements in data systems can create major impact.

When teams can access information quickly and accurately, they can make faster decisions, improve coordination, and better serve communities.

Stronger systems start with better visibility.

Confidence in immunization starts with trust.

Strong vaccination programs rely on more than access to vaccines—they also depend on systems that monitor safety, support healthcare workers, and strengthen public confidence.

At Akros, we're helping improve vaccine safety surveillance and digital reporting systems so health leaders have the information they need to respond quickly, strengthen immunization programs, and protect communities.

This National Immunization Awareness Month, we recognize the healthcare workers and public health professionals who help make immunization safer, stronger, and more effective every day.

Together, we're turning data into action.

🦟 August 20 is World Mosquito Day.

Mosquitoes are responsible for transmitting diseases that affect millions of people each year, including malaria, dengue, yellow fever, and other vector-borne illnesses. Protecting communities requires more than prevention—it requires timely data, strong surveillance systems, and informed public health action.

At Akros, we use digital technology and real-time data to help health teams monitor disease risk, strengthen vector control efforts, and support informed decision-making where it matters most.

This World Mosquito Day, we recognize the healthcare workers, field teams, and public health professionals working every day to reduce the burden of mosquito-borne diseases and build healthier communities.

Together, we're turning data into action.

💉 Strong immunization programs depend on strong health systems.

Behind every successful vaccination is a network of dedicated healthcare workers, reliable data, and systems that ensure vaccines are delivered safely and effectively.

At Akros, we help strengthen immunization systems by improving digital tools, supporting vaccine safety surveillance, and equipping health workers with the information they need to make timely decisions.

When data is accessible and health systems are resilient, communities are better protected.

Together, we're turning data into action.

Strengthening medicine safety is a critical investment in stronger health systems.
Somalia and Djibouti have taken an important step by establishing national pharmacovigilance systems—giving healthcare workers and regulators the tools to detect adverse drug reactions, identify substandard or falsified medicines, and respond quickly to emerging safety concerns.

These systems do more than improve patient safety. They build trust in healthcare, strengthen regulatory capacity, and create the foundation for resilient health systems that can better protect communities.

This milestone demonstrates that with strong partnerships and local leadership, meaningful progress is possible—even in complex operating environments.

💉 August is National Immunization Awareness Month.

Vaccines are one of the most effective tools for protecting people from preventable diseases. Strong immunization programs help save lives, strengthen communities, and build healthier futures.

At Akros, we're proud to support ministries of health and partners across Africa by strengthening immunization systems through digital innovation, vaccine safety surveillance, and data-driven decision-making.

This month, we celebrate the healthcare workers, partners, and communities working every day to ensure lifesaving vaccines reach those who need them most.

Together, we're turning data into action.

We’re excited to see Zimbabwe’s reported WHO Global Benchmarking Tool (GBT) Maturity Level 4 assessment results, which will be audited soon for final validation. If confirmed, Zimbabwe would become the first country in Africa and only the fourth globally to reach this important milestone.

Akros is proud to have supported this journey through the Saving Lives and Livelihoods (SLL) programme, in partnership with Africa CDC and the Mastercard Foundation. The programme supported MCAZ at multiple levels to help:

• Rollout a new electronic reporting system
• Revitalize district-level Adverse Events Following Immunization (AEFI) committees.
• Train 100 community health workers to identify and report AEFIs, strengthening surveillance beyond health facilities.
• Enhance public-facing communications, increasing transparency, and expanding access to pharmacovigilance resources.

This milestone, even if it's not confirmed, reflects the continued dedication of Zimbabwe’s regulatory authorities and partners to build stronger, more resilient health systems. We look forward to the outcome of the final review and congratulate everyone involved in reaching this stage.
