COUNTRY OWNERSHIP AND SUSTAINABLE TRANSITIONS INTERN
WASHINGTON, DC
The Global Health Fellows Program II is seeking a Country Ownership and Sustainable
Transitions Intern (INT-P3-038) in Washington, DC. Anticipated timeframe: Summer
2014: Compensated 12 week internship. The Global Health Fellows Program (GHFP-
II) is a five year cooperative agreement implemented and managed by the Public Health
Institute in partnership with Global Health Corps, GlobeMed, Management Systems
International and PYXERA Global. GHFP-II is supported by the US Agency for
International Development (USAID). GHFP-II's goal is to improve the effectiveness of
USAID health programs by addressing the Agency's immediate and emerging human
capacity needs. The program seeks to accomplish this goal first through the
recruitment, placement and support of diverse health professionals at the junior, mid
and senior levels. These program participants include fellows, interns, corporate
volunteers and Foreign Service National professionals. The program then provides
substantial performance management and career development support to participants,
including annual working planning assistance, and ensures that professional
development opportunities are available. Looking to the future, GHFP-II also seeks to
establish a pool of highly-qualified global health professionals that will ensure the
Agency's ongoing technical leadership and effectiveness. This objective is supported by
an extensive outreach program that brings global health opportunities and specialized
career advice to a diverse range of interested individuals, with a particular focus on
those underrepresented in the field of global health. INTRODUCTION: In cooperation
with the US Department of State's Office of the US Global AIDS Coordinator (OGAC),
other US Government (USG) partners, international organizations, and
nongovernmental organizations, USAID provides global technical leadership on the full
range of issues related to HIV/AIDS prevention, care, and treatment; manages
numerous research and field support programs; and monitors the impact of the Agency's
HIV/AIDS programs. In this endeavor, USAID works very closely with a range of
USG agencies involved in the fight against AIDS, such as the US Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention, Department of Defense, and Peace Corps. More information
about the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) may be found at

work in HIV testing and counseling can be found at http://www.usaid.gov/what-we-
do/global-health/hiv-and-aids/technical-areas/promoting-high-quality-hiv-testing-and.
As USAID and OGAC embark on the third phase of PEPFAR, the focus has shifted
from an emergency response to a transition to a more country led, managed,
implemented and eventually financed HIV/AIDS response, known as Country
Ownership and Sustainability. This transition requires a thoughtful, gradual and
responsible shift of roles and responsibilities for prevention, care and treatment
activities and the strengthening of in-country capacity and systems along the four
dimensions of country ownership: political commitment and stewardship, local and
community ownership, capacities and accountability. This process requires increasing
responsibilities of host country governments, civil society and the private sector.
Within OHA, a working group has formed to provide technical leadership and support
to the field, the Country Ownership and Sustainable Transitions (CO&ST) working
group. The CO&ST working group is seeking an Intern to support the many activities
planned for this group. The Intern receives day to day guidance from the OHA Country
Ownership Advisor as his/her onsite manager. LEARNING OBJECTIVE: Gaining a
greater understanding of country ownership and sustainability global concepts,
sustainability planning processes, implementation support, and responsibilities of
PEPFAR and country ownership within global health at USAID. Deepening skills in
collaboration and coordination within a complex organizational and implementation
structure. ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES: Documenting learnings/ issues from field
experience. May include travel to a field Mission to develop a case study around a best
practice. Assisting the CO&ST working group in finalizing tools related to country
ownership and sustainability assessment tools. Assisting the working group on the

QUALIFICATIONS: Currently enrolled masters or other post-bachelor's degree
candidate in a program related to public/ global health, social sciences, and/or
international public policy with a focus on health systems, HIV/AIDS and/or
sustainable development; or, completion of such within the past 12 months. Strong
written communication and qualitative data analysis skills. Demonstrated interest and
experience working in the areas of country ownership, sustainability, health systems
strengthening and institutional/organizational capacity building. US citizenship or US
permanent residency required. COMPENSATION: $1,680 bi-weekly (exempt, salaried
position). TO APPLY: Detailed information, including an online application and
instructions, is available on our website at www.ghfp.net. All applications must be
submitted by Tuesday, February 25, 2014 at 5:00 pm eastern time. We are proud to be
