Center for Global Development: Global Health Development Value Frameworks: Are We Calculating Well and Wisely?
Alec Morton, professor at the University of Strathclyde Glasgow, and Kalipso Chalkidou, director of global health policy and senior fellow at CGD, discuss the role of global health development value frameworks as tools for supporting policy and investment decisions. They write, “The design of these frameworks suggests that they are developed with good intentions, but without adequate learning from the economic and decision science literatures about the principles that underpin sound value framework design, and without adequate empirical and conceptual piloting and testing” (6/11).
