What we do
We help governments choose among competing health investments, raise the revenue to pay for them, and make the case for them at the treasury.
Our servicesFive areas of work, each tied to a decision in the budget cycle.
01Priority-setting and economic evaluation
Cost-effectiveness, cost-benefit and budget impact analysis to help governments choose among competing health investments, including health benefit package design and the costing of essential service packages.
02Health taxes and domestic resource mobilisation
Design and modelling of excise taxes on tobacco, alcohol and sugar-sweetened beverages, with revenue projections, health impact estimates and support to finance ministries and revenue authorities through reform.
03Climate and health economics
Estimates of climate-attributable disease burden and the cost of inaction, and investment cases for health adaptation, including support to Health National Adaptation Plans and applications to climate finance.
Investment cases for technology, infrastructure and industry
We evaluate the economic case for digital health, AI-enabled clinical decision support, facility connectivity and climate-resilient infrastructure, and model the financing needed to take them to scale. We also analyse the economics of domestic production of health products and related industrial policy on the continent.
