The influence of global malaria indicators on primary healthcare policy and practice in rural Kenya

George is a research officer based at the KEMRI-Wellcome Trust Research Programme, Kenya. His research aims to understand how malaria indicators, developed at the global level, are designed and created at the local levels and how these indicators influence malaria control goals and priorities, indicator production processes, and service delivery. The study will also investigate how the recent devolution of healthcare in Kenya is shaping the indicator-production landscape. George will undertake a DPhil at the Open University, supervised by Dr Caroline Jones, Dr Sassy Molyneux and Dr Rene Gerrets.
