Background

About Giulia Greco

I am an Associate Professor in Health and Wellbeing Economics in the Department of Global Health and Development, and co-Director of the Global Health Economics Centre. My main research interest is in understanding the value of health and quality of life, and the measurement of broader outcomes in the evaluation of public health programmes, including capabilities and subjective wellbeing. In the past, I worked on: 1) assessment of financial resources for RMNCH in priority countries; 2) economic evaluations of reproductive, maternal and newborn health programmes (MaiMwana Project in Malawi; Saving Newborn Lives in Nepal and Malawi; EVA-PMDUP in Zambia and India, Omwana in Uganda); 3) economic evaluation of complex school-based interventions (Good School trial to reduce violence against children in Uganda, Menstrual Hygiene Management in Schools in Uganda and Tanzania); and 4) economic analysis of mental health in conflict-affected areas (PVAC in Tanzania, RECAP and GOAL in Uganda and Lebanon). I have recently moved to Nairobi, Kenya, and my current research projects are: High Horizons to assess the impact of mitigation and adaptation strategies for extreme heat on maternal health outcomes, wellbeing and productivity in Zimbabwe, Kenya, South Africa Y-CHECK to assess the impact and cost-effectiveness of adolescent health and well-being check-ups in Zimbabwe, Tanzania and Ghana The Livelihoods Programme: to assess the impact and cost-effectiveness of CAMFED’s support for adolescent girls' economic activity, wellbeing and health in Zimbabwe and Tanzania.
