Health Economist
Overview of the Position
NSI is seeking an accomplished, technically versatile Health Economist to provide analytical expertise for NSI research and evaluation initiatives as needed. This role is central to NSI’s mission of generating policy-relevant, decision-grade economic evidence.
The Health Economist will be responsible for designing and executing a multi-methodological programme of economic analyses — spanning implementation costing, willingness-to-pay assessments, institutional financing consensus-building, budget impact modelling, and multi-criteria financing appraisal. The successful candidate will combine deep technical proficiency with strong communication skills, translating complex economic findings into actionable insights for policymakers, donors, and programme implementers.
Reporting directly to the CEO, the Health Economist will operate with a high degree of intellectual independence while maintaining close coordination with project leadership and partner institutions. Delivery on time, within scope, and in full alignment with donor expectations is a non-negotiable standard for this role.
Scope of Work & Key Deliverables
- Implementation Cost Analysis — Conduct a comprehensive, ingredient-based costing study to quantify resources required to introduce and sustain innovative health interventions. Design and administer cost data-collection instruments across public, faith-based, and private facilities. Calculate unit cost estimates at patient, facility, and health system levels, disaggregated by cost drivers. Validate estimates through triangulation with financial records and produce policy-ready benchmarks for national planning documents and budget submissions.
- Patient Willingness-to-Pay Assessment — Estimate demand-side economic value using Discrete Choice Experiment (DCE) methodology. Define and operationalise service attributes (accuracy, provider type, waiting time, distance, cost) informed by qualitative research with ANC users. Administer across a statistically powered, geographically representative sample. Estimate WTP values using conditional or mixed logit models and evaluate distributional implications across income quintiles.
- Institutional Willingness-to-Pay & Financing Consensus — Elicit preferences of institutional payers — government health insurance agencies, state ministries of health, and development partners — using a structured Delphi process. Manage a multidisciplinary expert panel and facilitate multiple rounds to build consensus on priority financing pathways. Produce a consensus statement with ranked financing options and a clear rationale.
- Budget Impact Analysis — Develop dynamic budget impact models to estimate the incremental financial cost of introducing interventions over a defined planning horizon. Construct population-level uptake models; conduct deterministic and probabilistic sensitivity analyses; present outputs in formats suitable for national and sub-national decision-makers, including executive dashboards and interactive scenario tools.
- Financing Model Assessment (MCDA) — Identify and prioritise financing options using a Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis framework. Develop and validate the decision framework with stakeholders; establish criteria weights through a participatory process; score financing options using evidence from previous workstreams and expert elicitation; produce an implementation-oriented policy brief on top-ranked mechanisms.
Cross-Cutting Responsibilities
