RESEARCH INTERESTS

Current projects include: Co-Lead of the Economic Evaluation work package for the Plus Project, working with Population Services International and national government and research partners to generate evidence on where, when and how to deliver perennial malaria chemoprevention (PMC). PMC is an extension of the previous intermittent preventive treatment of malaria in infants (IPTi) policy, increasing the age range to the second year of life and adding more doses. PMC is being implemented and evaluated at sub-national scale in four countries (Benin, Cameroon, Cote d'Ivoire and Mozambique), additional evaluation activities to support evidence for policy adoption and scale-up will be conducted in DRC, Ghana and Zambia. I am also responsible for the economic evaluation component of a study evaluating the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of integrating mass drug administration for helminth control with seasonal malaria chemoprevention in Ghanaian children (the MALHELMIN 3 Study).

Other recent projects have included: A multi-disciplinary process evaluation of a community-based intervention to improve maternal and child health in rural Guinea; Deputy Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) Lead for KalaCORE, a DfID-funded consortium for control and elimination of visceral leishmaniasis, supporting national eradication efforts and coordinating with control programmes in India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Ethiopia, Sudan and South Sudan; Economic evaluation of a private sector malaria prevention project in Ghana; Cost-effectiveness analysis of alternative malaria in pregnancy control interventions in Indonesia; Cost effectiveness-evaluation of a national long-lasting insecticide-treated net (LLIN) "hang-up" campaign in Ghana; Systematic literature review on community case management of malaria; Systematic literature review on effectiveness of strategies strengthening national health service delivery to increase health service access in low income countries.
