The D2D Sustaining and scaling - Americas hub project is one of the 9 child-projects of the Akvo Data to Decision project.
Akvo supports a vast network of partners across East and West Africa, South and South East Asia, South America and the Pacific. Building on our experience in the WASH sector, we have commenced work across a range of new sectors, including sustainable agriculture, disaster response and climate change adaptation. The rapid expansion into new countries and sectors has delivered valuable lessons for improving our approach further. However, it takes time and resources to establish new partnerships and leverage the opportunities we are presented with.
The D2D activities of Akvo's Americas hub (offices in the USA) will focus on expanding our services in these countries to ensure we are reaching global coverage. This includes:
* Working with partners to capture data that is aligned with global and regional standards. At the global level this will focus on the Sustainable Development Goals and at the regional level this will focus on SIASAR, the regional information system for rural
water and sanitation.
* Acting as a core partner within the Lazos de Aqua 2 project to implement the use of Akvo Flow, Akvo RSR and Akvo Lumen as well are providing M&E support including activities around moving from data to decision-making.
* Strengthening our network in the USA. Fold in
