About
A multidisciplinary team for African health systems
HEOR Africa brings together academic health economists, experienced project managers and analysts who work jointly to produce local, traceable evidence for the organisations that fund, deliver and pay for health care across sub-Saharan Africa.
Mission
To make rigorous, locally grounded health economic evidence faster and easier to obtain, so that decisions about what to fund, adopt and scale in African health systems rest on data from those systems.
Our team
Senior expertise, working jointly
Every engagement is delivered by a team, not an individual. Senior academics set the methods and sign off the evidence, project managers keep the work on time and clients informed, and analysts build and document the models.
Academic leadership
Professors and senior researchers in health economics and health systems provide methodological direction and expert sign-off on every deliverable.
Project management
Experienced project managers plan each engagement, manage timelines and budgets, and keep clients informed from scoping to final report.
Modelling and analysis
Health economists and analysts build, adapt and document models in R, with every parameter traced to its source.
Clinical and sector expertise
Clinicians and sector specialists review model structure and inputs against local practice and data.
How we work together
Shared accountability
A senior methodologist and a project manager lead each engagement together, from scoping to final report.
Independent review
Models are checked by an analyst who did not build them, before any result is released.
One point of contact
Clients work with one project manager throughout, with direct access to the senior team.
Why Kigali and Addis Ababa
Close to the systems we study
Working from within East Africa and the Horn of Africa means we know the data sources, institutions and delivery realities that shape local evidence.
Two regional hubs
Kigali is a base for the East African Community; Addis Ababa is home to the African Union and Africa CDC. Together they give us reach across the region.
Convenient working hours
Kigali (UTC+2) and Addis Ababa (UTC+3) overlap the working day in Europe, the rest of Africa and the Middle East.
Connected across the continent
Both cities are well connected by air to capitals across sub-Saharan Africa, so we can work in person where it matters.
