Mr Kenneth Roger Katumba
Research Student - MPhil/PhD - Public Health & Policy
United Kingdom
Currently working on my PhD research, using behavioural economics and the economics of sex work to investigate the role that biases to human behaviour play in the relationships between HIV prevention and vulnerabilities (individual, interpersonal, and structural) experienced by female sex workers in Kampala, Uganda and Nairobi, Kenya. I am a health economist at the MRC/UVRI & LSHTM Uganda Research Unit, where I have carried out a range of health economics activities including cost and cost-effectiveness analysis of interventions, wellbeing research, quality of life valuation studies, capacity building for health economics research, and strengthening policy uptake of research. I have a Master of Public Health degree from the EHESP French School of Public Health, and a Bachelor of Science in Quantitative Economics degree from Makerere University, Kampala. I have experience from France, West and East Africa.
