Efundem Agboraw

Dr. Efundem Agboraw serves as a Post-Doctoral Research Associate in Health Economics at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, specializing in malaria intervention analysis within the Department of Vector Biology under the School of Tropical Medicine. Her work focuses on economic modeling of disease control strategies in resource-limited settings.

Educational Background:

• BSc and MSc Economics, University of Buea (Cameroon)
• MSc Finance and Accounting, University of Wolverhampton (UK)
• PhD in Economics and Finance, Anglia Ruskin University (2016)

Her research integrates health economics with disease control policy, specializing in cost-effectiveness analysis of malaria interventions across Africa. Current projects examine socioeconomic determinants of treatment access and insecticide-resistant malaria strategies through advanced economic modeling. Her methodological expertise spans quantitative analysis, step-wise regression, and Granger causality testing applied to both public health and financial sector vulnerabilities.

Key Collaborations:

• Malaria in an Insecticide Resistant Africa (MIRA) project with CNRFP (Burkina Faso)
• WHO-commissioned systematic review led by Imperial College London
• Mathematical modeling partnerships at Imperial College London

Dr. Agboraw directs field data collection in Burkina Faso while developing health systems cost models to identify zero-malaria pathways. Her dual expertise in financial risk modeling and tropical disease economics enables unique cross-sector analyses of resource constraints.
