Located in Côte d'Ivoire, Transverse Health Afrique (THA) is a health and development consulting firm that turns evidence into action. For last five years, we have partnered with national health programmes, NGOs and technical partners to design, implement and evaluate high-impact projects, while capturing lessons learned to strengthen results.
Through a holistic One Health lens, THA mobilizes a multidisciplinary expert network spanning universities, research centers, and specialized institutes. We pair scientific excellence with contextual insight to produce results-focused work and high-standard deliverables. We maintain strict confidentiality, adhere to ethical principles, and ensure the reliability of data throughout the engagement.
From design to evaluation, we convert data into actionable decisions by leveraging proven expertise in public health, social sciences, nutrition, and analytical methods.
We use public health and social sciences to understand people, contexts and systems and turn insights into practical recommendations. We explore acceptability, barriers and enablers, community dynamics, access to services and user experience.
We leverage epidemiology and biostatistics to describe, explain, and anticipate health trends. We translate these analyses into robust indicators and support operational decision-making. We work with routine data (DHIS2), supply-chain data (e-SIGL), surveys, and registers to generate reliable evidence for programme management.
We help programmes and partners assess needs, design solutions and improve nutrition and food security interventions. We work on acute and chronic malnutrition, anaemia and micronutrient deficiencies, maternal and child nutrition, and household resilience in vulnerable contexts.
We design and deliver surveys, evaluations and M&E systems that help programmes measure performance, learn what works (and what doesn't), and improve impact. We combine quantitative, qualitative and mixed-methods approaches tailored to each context and decision need.
We help health facilities and programmes improve quality of care and make care pathways smoother from first contact to follow-up. We combine workflow analysis, quality standards, team organisation and data-driven improvement to reduce system failures, improve access and strengthen continuity of care.
We build team capacity and support organizations in planning, steering, and improving health and development programmes. Our support combines hands-on training, coaching, and technical assistance to co-design context-adapted, operational solutions.
We support organizations in reducing incidents and protecting staff by implementing an integrated Occupational Health, Safety and Biosecurity framework. Our services include risk assessment, prevention and compliance protocols (PPE, hygiene, waste management), capacity building, audits, and continuous quality improvement.
We support programmes in communicating results and driving behaviour change by producing evidence-based content. Our team packages monitoring and research outputs into practical products for implementation, advocacy, and reporting.
