Responsibilities

Design of an Internal Cost-Effectiveness Framework

Develop a practical cost-effectiveness model aligned with EA-style approaches (expected value, counterfactual impact, comparison to cash transfer benchmarks, uncertainty ranges)

Ensure the model is transparent and simple enough to be used internally (e.g., spreadsheet-based with clear parameterization)

Explicitly address issues critical to RTSL’s work, including policy leverage, attribution, durability, and time horizons

Apply the model to a small set of agreed priority initiatives, expected to include: Low-sodium salt interventions, Health taxes and fiscal policy work, Selected pandemic preparedness / epidemic prevention initiatives

Document key assumptions, sensitivities, and ranges for each case

Identify where results are robust versus highly assumption-dependent

The consultant will engage directly with a small number of relevant RTSL staff on an as-needed basis to: Validate assumptions and data inputs, Sense-check attribution, time horizons, and durability, Ensure analyses reflect operational and policy realities

The consultant will be responsible for incorporating this input into the models and analyses

Develop and deliver training sessions for relevant RTSL staff on how to use and interpret the model

Produce short guidance materials (e.g., “how to run a basic CEA,” “how to frame results for proposals”)

Support embedding cost-effectiveness thinking into program design and proposal development workflows

Develop cost-effectiveness models and accompanying narrative materials that can be credibly shared with EA-aligned funders. This includes: Clear documentation of assumptions, uncertainty ranges, and counterfactual reasoning, Simple, defensible summary outputs suitable for proposal annexes or technical follow-up with funders, Support to RTSL in articulating results clearly and consistently in external conversation

Outputs should be aligned with the analytical styles and expectations of EA-oriented funders
