Countries: Niger and Ethiopia
Project Dates: January 2018 – October 2019
EVIHDAF was commissioned by Concern Worldwide to develop a cost- effectiveness analysis framework and related analytical tools for the community- based management of acute malnutrition (CMAM) Surge program, and lead on its immediate application in Ethiopia and Niger.
The Surge Approach supports health systems to become more resilient by better managing seasonal ‘surges’ in the demand for treatment of acute malnutrition that occur in many vulnerable contexts.
Using primary and secondary data at various levels over a 12-month period, the cost per disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) will be measured, along with other intermediate outcome measures. These indicators will be compared across the Surge Approach, traditional emergency responses, and international standards and other studies.
Mr. Mark Myatt of Brixton Health, UK is our partner on the project.
