Communications, media & payment systems

We conduct short, medium and long- term assignments, with clients including global health partnerships, multi-lateral and bi-lateral agencies, donors and foundations, governments and international NGOs.

Over the last 15 years, we have gained a wealth of knowledge and expertise across a number of health areas which we apply at both global and country levels. These include: epidemics and pandemics (e.g. COVID-19, cholera) and other communicable diseases such as HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis and hepatitis C; health and community systems strengthening; immunisation; maternal and child health; and sexual and reproductive health. We also work in a number of cross-cutting areas such as health policy and governance, health financing, health data and information systems, commodity market dynamics and universal health coverage. Together, our breadth of experience has given us the knowledge and skills in a range of areas, especially to conduct complex evaluations, provide high-level technical advisory and strategy support and undertake health impact modelling. As a multi-disciplinary team of public health professionals and applied economists, CEPA's main strength is bringing together diverse sources of evidence and analysis to develop relevant and nuanced conclusions and recommendations on complex issues.

To complement the skills of our internal team, CEPA has a wide network of expert associates and institutional partners worldwide, whom we draw upon for specific mandates.
