Dr William Rudgard is a social epidemiologist in the Department for Social Policy and Intervention at the University of Oxford. Working in the Accelerate Hub, his research focuses on identifying cost-effective combinations of interventions to promote adolescent health and education across Africa. His methodological interests include causal inference and the use of multilevel models to account for the interconnected and hierarchical nature of social vulnerabilities. He is an honorary research affiliate in the Centre for Social Science Research at the University of Cape Town, and he completed his PhD at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine.
Concerted efforts are needed to recover progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals for adolescents following the recent global COVID pandemic. Priority areas include education, child marriage, sexual, reproductive health and rights, and violence prevention. To galvanise new investments, UNICEF is bringing together a coalition of respected, high-profile voices that demand greater investment in adolescents. At the Accelerate Hub, we are supporting UNICEF by developing a strategic investment case for adolescents in Kenya. Our analysis aims to model the multisectoral returns on investment that cash transfers, parenting support, and adolescent youth friendly health services could bring for this group. This colloquium will present ongoing research towards this aim.
