Global Health Fellows Program II
Nutrition and Food Security Intern
Location: Washington, DC
Anticipated timeframe: March 1 – August 31, 2014: Compensated 24-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.
The Nutrition and Food Security Intern will be assigned to the Nutrition Division, Office of Health, Infectious Disease and Nutrition, Global Health Bureau (GH), with rotations to the Bureau for Food Security (BFS), Office of Country Strategies and Implementation/Technical Division, Office of Agricultural Research and Policy, and Office of Market and Partnership Innovations. The Intern will contribute to objectives of both Presidential initiatives: Global Health and Feed the Future.
Through Feed the Future (FtF) and the Global Health initiatives (GH), the United States is supporting country-owned programs to address the root causes of undernutrition and improve the future potential of millions of people. Nutrition is integrated in both initiatives to ensure mothers and young children have access to nutritious food and quality health services. USAID uses evidence-based approaches to ensure good nutrition and supports innovative new approaches that will improve outcomes for the most vulnerable populations.
USAID is pleased to be part of the Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) global movement, which encourages increased political commitment and programmatic alignment to accelerate reductions in global hunger and undernutrition, and promotes a focus on the 1,000 day window of opportunity from pregnancy to a child's second birthday. The Intern will receive day to day guidance from the Nutrition Advisor and BFS Policy Team Advisor as his/her onsite managers.
