RME Associate – Health at Genesis Analytics

Our purpose is to unlock value in Africa. We use our analytical capabilities to improve decision-making and, through better decisions, to unlock substantial value for our clients and society. While we are the largest economics-based consulting firm in Africa, we use a large number of techniques and approaches to achieve clarity for decision-makers. We work across various domains. Early specialisations were competition and regulatory economics, and then financial services strategy. Since then we have added: agriculture and agribusiness, applied behavioural economics, infrastructure, health, monitoring and evaluation and shared value. We often combine our areas of expertise to craft services that recognise the multifaceted nature of our clients’ challenges and opportunities.
