Research

I am currently working on ACTwatch, a project that aims at providing evidence-based recommendations for policy makers on how to increase availability of artemisinin-based combination therapies for malaria in the private sector. I was responsible for conducting the supply chain survey component for Madagascar and am in the process of coding, analysing, and writing up the results. I am also currently working on coding and analysing the results for the supply chain surveys in Benin and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. For my graduate research at the LSE, I conducted primary research on Botswana's antiretroviral distribution strategy.
