Strategic positioning

International development is in the middle of a shift: away from vertical, disease-specific programming and toward integrated, resilient health systems; away from input-based monitoring and toward measuring actual results and impact; away from externally-driven agendas and toward solutions that are locally led and country-owned. ACI sits right at that intersection.

UHC & Health Systems Strengthening

Years of practice designing and evaluating HSS investments aligned to WHO frameworks, SDG 3, and country-level UHC roadmaps.

Global Health Security & IHR

Direct, hands-on engagement with International Health Regulations compliance, AMR action plans, and pandemic preparedness work at WHO EMRO and national levels.

Governance & Public Finance

Health sector governance reform, procurement system redesign, PPRA compliance, budget and expenditure analysis, and fiscal gap assessments.

Localisation Agenda

As a Pakistan-registered, Pakistan-led firm, ACI doesn't just reference the localisation principles championed by global leaders — we operate that way by default.

Gender & Inclusion

Gender, disability, and social inclusion lenses built into programme design, M&E frameworks, and community engagement from the outset, not added on afterward.

Digital Health & Data Systems

Health information systems, data quality assessments, and turning dense datasets into policy recommendations people can actually use.
