With many years of experience, I've been a trusted advisor/consultant to numerous local and international organizations, specializing in high-impact education and healthcare projects across Africa since 2009. Within health economics, I've cultivated a deep passion for economic evaluation and strategic purchasing. My contributions in this area include co-authoring numerous articles, blogs, and policy briefs.
Before joining the prestigious London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, where I now hold a position in the Department of Global Health and Development within the Faculty of Public Health and Policy, I had the privilege of working as an economist for the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR). During my time there, I conducted comprehensive human rights-based budget analyses and PER for many Francophone West African countries as part of the Surge Initiative.
This diverse and enriching journey has provided me with invaluable insights and expertise in health economics, policy development, and human rights economics, enabling me to make meaningful contributions to improving health systems and societal well-being in Africa and beyond.

Teaching
I'm an educator with experience in teaching and managing schools. I taught economics, accounting, and business mathematic in secondary schools for 10 years.
Besides teaching, I was involved in school administration. I attended meetings with various stakeholders and contributed to important decisions. I stayed in touch with government education officials to make sure our school follows the rules.
I am one of the tutors of the Economic Evaluation distance learning teaching module (PMH204) at LSHTM.

Research
My research interests lie at the intersection of health economics, policy development and programmatic interventions in health systems, with a focus on Africa. I am currently involved in the Plus project (formerly known as the IPTI+ project), a ground-breaking initiative funded by Unitaid to drive the programmatic scale-up of multi-year malaria chemoprevention for children under two years of age in four countries.
Prior to this project, I have had the privilege of participating in various multi-country research efforts focused on health financing and strategic purchasing in Africa. These experiences have deepened my passion for exploring innovative approaches to health financing, procurement and delivery mechanisms, with the ultimate goal of improving the accessibility, affordability and effectiveness of health services in the region.
Through my research, I aim to make a substantial contribution to the development of evidence-based policies and strategies that promote equitable access to quality health care, particularly in resource-constrained settings. My commitment to addressing critical health challenges in Africa drives my dedication to advancing the field of health economics and policy development for the betterment of communities and individuals.
