Naasegnibe Kuunibe is a trained economist and lecturer at the University for Development Studies (UDS), Ghana. Prior to starting his PhD at the University of Heidelberg he has been involved in impact evaluation studies using randomized controlled trials (RCTs) as well as baseline and community program assessment in northern Ghana. His research focus has been in applied economics largely using choice models to investigate healthcare utilization as well as climate change and welfare effects in northern Ghana. His  PhD research focuses on evaluating the effect of performance based financing (PBF) on the quantity and mix of incentivized and non-incentivized health services in Burkina Faso. Naasegnibe is using routine National Health Management Information system and PBF program data to investigate the link between payments and the mix of services provided, ultimately seeking to assess the efficiency of the payment reform promoted by PBF.
