Strengthening health-economics capability in Africa: summary and outcomes of a regional consultation of experts and policy-makers

This report provides an overview of health-economics capacity and capacity-strengthening initiatives in Africa, and outlines a strategy for promoting further health-economics capacity in the region. It is the result of a process initiated by the research capability strengthening (RCS) area of the UNICEF/ UNDP/World Bank/WHO Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases (TDR). Following discussions with TDR, the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida) lent support to this initiative.
