Akvo climate
We’re on a mission to build the climate resilience of those most affected by the climate crisis. Drawing on over ten years of expertise - from software development to data sharing and local capacity building - we specialise in using the power of global data for local impact.
Building climate resilience
The climate crisis affects all aspects of life on our planet. Over the last years, we’ve seen a massive increase in digital solutions for climate change.
These solutions are vital in assisting with decision making to speed up our adaptation and build climate resilience, but often exclude those most vulnerable to the climate crisis.
How Akvo can help
We offer data and technology services tailored to your needs and goals, and we bring in sector expertise and local presence to ensure that the work we do is contextually relevant and sustainable.
Using our sector expertise and local presence, we can help translate complex, global data into actionable climate insights for local users.
We can help organisations align their data systems to global reporting frameworks, such as SDG reporting. Our impact reporting services range from co-creating a theory of change and designing a results framework to building custom M&E reporting systems.
We have the digital tools, decision frameworks, contextual knowledge, and local networks to build realistic scenarios for donors, governments, and businesses interested in making climate investments.
