Malaria Consortium requires qualified health economists that will carry out cost-description of the introduction and roll-out of PMC and a cost-effectiveness analysis of the PMC intervention, including a cost-benefit analysis.
Purpose/Scope of Assignment
Malaria Consortium received funding to carry out an effectiveness-implementation hybrid project on feasibility and effectiveness of on PMC in Nigeria. It is aimed at generating the required evidence to inform policy and possible scale up of PMC in Nigeria, and ultimately contribute towards a reduction in under 5 mortalities in the country.
The cost analyses will be done from a health systems perspective that entails quantification of what it will cost the Ministry of Health/NMEP to carry out the intervention and focusing on direct costs (medical and non-medical). Costing will involve the quantification of inputs and assignment of appropriate resource values; discounting future costs and assigning appropriate annualized costs to capital inputs; and valuing resources when market prices deviate from the actual value of resources. Direct costs will include:
Scope of work
Phase 1: May 2023 – July 2023
This will be the formative phase with key activities such as: protocol development, development of costing assumptions, tools development and training on the data elements that should be collected and tools by the project team and determine the periodicity of recording of the data.
To begin, hold an inception meeting with stakeholders to ask what question on cost do we want to answer? or does NMEP/NPHCDA need to answer for policy decision-making? Would we need to provide costs for the scheduled and unscheduled delivery per child? the additional cost of integrating within EPI and delivery of EPI-only? and then the cost-effectiveness of the different models? All these will be detailed in the protocol in phase 1.
