Tom Traill
Policy and Research Director
As Director of Research and Policy at Community Partners International (CPI), Tom leads CPI's efforts to collect data and generate insights that are used by health practitioners in Myanmar, Bangladesh and Thailand. Using participatory approaches to both clinical and population-based health projects, CPI’s research and actionable policy recommendations focus on understanding the needs and potential solutions for the most vulnerable people, who often live in conflict-affected areas.
Prior to this role, Tom worked as a World Bank health systems advisor for the Myanmar Ministry of Health and Sports. He also supported the development of CPI's strategic purchasing project with the Karen Ethnic Health Organization Consortium, which continues to inform policymakers about a potential approach for cooperation between ethnic health organizations and the government. Before moving to Myanmar, he worked on health policy and economics in Tanzania (Zanzibar) and Europe. Tom holds a BA in Politics, Philosophy and Economics from Oxford University, an MSc in Economic Policy from UCL and an MPA from Harvard University.
