Margaret A. Phillips, B.Sc., B.Ec., M.Sc.

Margaret Phillips has worked for over 20 years as an economist in the health sector. Her primary experience is in the areas of program evaluation and policy development with a special focus on economic analysis, including the application of cost-effectiveness analysis. She has applied these analytical skills to a number of specific health program areas including diarrheal disease, HIV/AIDS, nutrition and micronutrients, and vector-borne diseases, as well as to more general policy topics such as adult health, and has drawn on her experience, training, and writing skills to prepare a portfolio of guidebooks and manuals (e.g. HIV/AIDS program costing) on related topics.

Ms. Phillips has worked in nearly 20 countries in Latin America, Asia, and Africa, including a residency of 4 years in Mexico, and has done consultancies for international and other agencies including the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, the Department for International Development (U.K.), the United States Agency for International Development and several of the agencies it supports, and the World Health Organization, including the WHO European Centre for Environment and Health. She has published approximately 30 journal articles, chapters, books, and guidelines for international agencies. Ms. Phillips graduated with two honours degrees in Science and in Economics from the Australian National University, Canberra, and has a Master's degree in Public Health from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.
