Associate Consultant, dedicated to improving the delivery of health services in the Democratic Republic of the Congo
About Acasus
Acasus (www.acasus.com) is 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:
Our project teams consist of experienced consultants from leading international consultancies (e.g. McKinsey, Oliver Wyman, Roland Berger and others) and highly talented locally-hired staff. The success of our projects depends on the dedication, development, and excellent work of our teams.
Context & Impact
Acasus has supported health and education reforms since 2013. Our team in Pakistan achieved the most rapid increase in vaccination coverage recorded to date — improving the coverage of life-saving child vaccines across the Punjab province from 50% to 90% in just two years.
In Peru, our team aided the Ministry of Education with crucial reforms to improve teacher performance. These reforms led to significant increase in student outcomes.
Following the success of our programs in Pakistan and Peru, we have been requested by an international organization to replicate our model in multiple countries across Africa and Asia. Our growing team in the Democratic Republic of Congo is working alongside the Ministry of Health to improve nationwide availability of basic vaccines. Early indicators are already showing promising results.
Role in Brief
Based in Kinshasa, you will support officials at federal and regional levels to implement reforms.
These reforms leverage on the use of technologies and data to facilitate quick and effective action by managers and leaders. By supporting the delivery of better public services, we contribute to improving health outcomes. To date, our DRC team has achieved a number of highly impactful quick wins, demonstrating the opportunity for larger impact in this region.
As an Associate Consultant, you will support Acasus Senior Associates as well as central and provincial officials in customizing and implementing our reform model in this region. You will build on existing insights, excitement, and engagement to strengthen the health system at a national level.
