Global Consulting Project Manager in Switzerland

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 small teams to support the most senior officials in government (typically at ministerial or prime-ministerial level) in driving rapid reforms. We help to: 

  • Plan and develop strategies

  • Monitor progress

  • Use data and other information

  • Build capacity and skills throughout the system

  • Improve coordination and cooperation

  • Solve problems and challenges as they arise

  • Access international evidence and lessons about what works

Our project teams consist of experienced consultants from leading international consultancies (McKinsey, Oliver Wyman, Roland Berger and others) and highly talented locally-hired staff. The success of our projects relies on the dedication, development, and excellent work of our teams.

Context & Impact
