Our impact
The work of Access Accelerated and our partners is felt by millions of people each year. The evidence of our reach can be found everywhere, from smaller local initiatives that have taken root and grown into national programs to the many people whose lives have been transformed by better access to screening and treatment for noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).
Global impact
Between 2017-2023, Access Accelerated contributed over US$25 million to a Trust Fund that gave the World Bank flexible, catalytic funding to respond and tailor solutions to country NCD needs. This included 44 World Bank activities at the global, regional, and national levels, spanning several dozen LMICs.

The Access Accelerated partnership is an excellent example of a strategic partnership with the private sector which encouraged innovations, built capacity, and empowered clients to roll out new ways of doing business to tackle the surge in NCDs with a focus on the primary healthcare and community levels.”

Case studies
Case studies provide a firsthand look inside real-world projects, guiding us through their complexities, and offering nuanced insights and lessons learned. They give us a comprehensive overview of deliverables and outcomes and enable us to document the human realities of a project. This allows us to gauge impact in a way that numbers and data alone often can’t capture and see our work through a people-centered lens.
