When does a ministry need a budget impact analysis?
Budget impact analysis shows what adopting an intervention will cost a ministry's budget each year. When it is needed and what a good one contains.

Market access evidence for African payers
Local evidence and model adaptation for global HEOR firms and industry affiliates — local costs, epidemiology and payer processes to support submissions to African insurers and HTA bodies.
The problem
New payer bodies across the region — national insurers, benefit-package committees and HTA units — increasingly expect evidence about local costs, local epidemiology and local budget impact. Global value dossiers rarely provide it, and teams based outside Africa often lack access to local data and an understanding of how decisions are made.
What we deliver
Local model adaptation
Adaptation of global cost-effectiveness and budget impact models to specific African countries, with sourced local inputs.
Local cost and epidemiology inputs
Documented unit costs, resource use and epidemiological parameters for the target country.
Payer landscape and process briefings
How listing, reimbursement and procurement decisions are made, and what evidence each body requests.
Local evidence sections
Country-specific economic and budget impact sections to complement a global dossier.
Methods
- Model adaptation and localisation
- Local unit-cost sourcing
- Budget impact analysis
- Payer and process mapping
How we work
- 01
Map the decision
Identify the payer, the process and the evidence each target country requests.
- 02
Gap analysis
Compare the available global evidence with local requirements and agree how gaps will be addressed.
- 03
Build the local evidence
Adapt models and source local inputs using our costing and model-adaptation methods.
- 04
Support the submission
Provide the local sections, briefings and answers to technical questions from reviewers.
Every engagement follows our reproducible pipeline with three expert sign-off gates.

Frequently asked questions
Do you prepare global value dossiers?
No. We focus on local evidence and model adaptation for African payers, working alongside the global HEOR firms and industry teams that lead global dossiers.
Which payers do you prepare evidence for?
National insurers, benefit-package committees and HTA units in sub-Saharan Africa. We map what each target country’s decision-makers ask for before building the evidence.
How long does local adaptation take?
Typically 6–10 weeks, depending on the evidence already available and the number of target countries.
