Challenge
One of our partners developed an initiative to improve access to safe, affordable surgical care in low and middle-income countries. The initiative needed a skilled implementation team to support its three pillars: Leadership Development, Innovation, and Elevating Ideas.
Solution
Axum provided implementation support across all three core areas. The team handled design phases, program coordination, and created detailed implementation roadmaps through human-centered design research. Axum planned and executed the official initiative launch as a UN General Assembly (UNGA) side event, and managed and coordinated the expansion of the initiative within sub-Saharan Africa to Southeast Asia.
Impact
Over five years, the initiative achieved policy advocacy results in Ethiopia, Tanzania, and Cambodia, while strengthening surgical workforce capacity and scaling innovations within global health networks.
