Akvo operates on a not-for-profit, not-for-loss basis. It develops and operates its products under a unified service brand but comprises a number of distinct organisational entities. We have established legal entities in a number of countries in which we work. These are adapted to the local legal and regulatory frameworks in place and are appropriate to our values and mission.

Akvo is an international organisation with foundations registered in the Netherlands, Kenya and the United States (section 501(c)(3)) and representative offices in Singapore and Indonesia.

The Netherlands organisation is responsible for strategic direction, global partnerships and operating our online and mobile services. The United States, Kenya and Singapore organisations are responsible for the direction of regional strategies, business development, partnerships, operations and fundraising.
