Global Health Fellows Program II
High Impact Interventions Intern
Maternal and Child Health Division, Office of Health, Infectious Diseases, and Nutrition, Bureau for Global
Health, United States Agency for International Development
Anticipated timeframe: June 2015 – August 2015: Compensated 12 week internship
Location: Washington, DC/Arlington, VA
INT-P4-009
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.
BACKGROUND:
Many high-impact maternal and child health and family planning interventions require members of the
beneficiary population to seek and utilize health services. The assumptions of impact include the assumption
that health services provided will be of high-quality. A limitation of many coverage measures of high-impact
interventions (e.g., care-seeking for suspected pneumonia, antenatal care, post natal care, facility births) is that
these measures simply assess receipt of services on a population level. These often-used measures of impact,
are not adjusted or calibrated, based on whether or not the users of services are actually receiving high-quality
service, or even if the service meets a minimum standard of quality.
Fortunately, in several countries, information about the quality of services is available, even collected around
the time that coverage measures were assessed. While these measures of quality and coverage might be
assessed independently of each other, it is worthwhile to explore the potential to analyze these measures
together, or side-by-side, in order to calibrate coverage measures to more reliably reflect the proportion of the
beneficiary population that received a health service of a sufficient standard. For the purposes of this scope of
work, we will define the term "effective coverage" to mean the percent of the population needing a health
service that received the health minimum standard of quality.
INTRODUCTION:
The High Impact Interventions Intern will be assigned to the Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Division in the
Office of Health, Infectious Diseases and Nutrition (HIDN) within the Bureau for Global Health (GH). The MCH
1
USAID’s Global Health Fellows Program II is implemented by the Public Health Institute and its partners
Global Health Corps, GlobeMed, Management Systems International and PYXERA Global
Division has leadership responsibility for strategic planning, innovations in technologies and program design, and
monitoring and evaluation in maternal, newborn, child and environmental health programs globally and in
collaboration with USAID country field Missions. The work is closely coordinated with nutrition, water and
sanitation, family planning, infectious disease, health system strengthening and research in other HIDN divisions,
GH offices, and USAID bureaus. The Division plays a leadership role in identifying and furthering key partnerships
and alliances with other governments, United Nations agencies, foundations, NGOs, universities, and the private
sector.
The Intern will receive day to day guidance from to the Senior Monitoring and Evaluation Advisor as his/her
onsite manager and work closely with the Monitoring and Evaluation Advisor and other MCH staff. The Intern
will be expected to receive advice from technical members of the MCH and Family Planning (FP) Divisions of the
GH Bureau in order to define various definitions of a minimum standard of care for key high-impact
interventions.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
• Gaining greater understanding of USAID’s work in key high-impact interventions and how to calculate
the effect coverage of such.
• Deepening skills in collaboration and coordination within a complex organizational and implementation
structure.
ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
• Calculating the effective coverage of key high-impact interventions under various scenarios.
• Conducting literature reviews of most important elements of quality for health services linked to key
MCH/FP coverage indicators.
• Identifying coverage and quality data sets that were collected close in time in a country (e.g., DHS and SPA
surveys).
• Developing various options for a minimum standard that others can choose to use in assessments of
effective coverage pertaining to operational definitions/criteria for what constitutes a minimum standard of
quality for each key health service (e.g., management of the sick child) that can be constructed from existing
data sets. The operational definitions of quality can range in rigor, to allow a sensitivity analysis of effective
coverage given various definitions of quality.
• Calculating the effective coverage of high-impact interventions in one or more countries using various
definitions of what constitutes the minimum standard for quality of the intervention.
• Writing a report of the findings that will be used to show the value of calculating the effective coverage and
the feasibility to do so.
• Other tasks or responsibilities may be assigned based on organizational and programming need and/or the
intern’s own interests.
QUALIFICATIONS:
• Currently enrolled doctoral degree candidate in public health; or, completion of such within the past 12
months.
• Strong writing and analytical skills.

BACKGROUND:
The Malaria Division under the Office of Health, Infectious Diseases, and Nutrition in the Bureau for Global
Health leads the President’s Malaria Initiative (PMI). With passage of the 2008 Lantos-Hyde Act, funding for PMI
was extended and PMI’s strategy was revised to achieve Africa-wide impact by halving the burden of malaria in
70 percent of at-risk populations in sub-Saharan Africa—or approximately 450 million people. After five years of
intervention, all-cause child mortality has been reduced from 16% to 50% in the original 15 PMI countries.
Building on the success to date, PMI will be launching a new six-year strategy that will focus on five strategic
areas: 1) Achieving and sustaining scale of proven interventions; 2) Adapting to changing epidemiology and new
tools; 3) Improving countries’ capacity to collect and use information; 4) Mitigating risks against the current
malaria control gains; and 5) Building capacity and health systems towards full country ownership. Please

Bureau for Global Health (GH) leads the President’s Malaria Initiative (PMI). PMI is a US Government (USG)
effort, led by USAID and implemented together with the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) of
the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), to reduce the intolerable burden of malaria and help
relieve poverty on the African continent. The goal of PMI is to reduce malaria-related deaths by 50 percent in 19
countries in Africa that have a high burden of malaria by expanding coverage of four highly effective malaria
prevention and treatment measures to the most vulnerable populations: pregnant women and children under
five years of age. These interventions include: insecticide-treated mosquito nets, indoor residual spraying with
insecticides, intermittent preventive treatment for pregnant women, and prompt use of artemisinin-based
combination therapies (ACTs) for those who have been diagnosed with malaria.
With passage of the 2008 Lantos-Hyde Act, funding for PMI was extended and PMI’s strategy was revised to
achieve Africa-wide impact by halving the burden of malaria in 70 percent of at-risk populations in sub-Saharan
Africa—or approximately 450 million people. Please visit http://www.pmi.gov/about to learn more about PMI.

Global Health Fellows Program II
Private Sector in Sub-Saharan Africa Intern
Infectious Disease Division, Office of Health, Infectious Diseases, and Nutrition, Bureau for Global Health,

Anticipated timeframe: June 2015 – August 2015: Compensated 12 week internship
Location: Washington, DC/Arlington, VA

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.
BACKGROUND:
The Tuberculosis (TB) Team within the Infectious Disease (ID) Division, under the Office of Health, Infectious
Diseases, and Nutrition (HIDN) in the Bureau for Global Health (GH) has led US Government efforts in the fight
to prevent and treat TB, which kills about 1.4 million people annually. USAID programs focus on improving TB
services in 28 countries, saving lives and preventing the spread of TB and multidrug-resistant TB. The goal of
USAID efforts is to contribute significantly to the reduction of TB transmission and deaths globally.
In the past years, the scale of public-private mix (PPM) efforts has grown and further expansion offers the
prospect of finding more of the missing 3 million TB cases. However, most of the attention in PPM has been
focused on South Asia, due to its very large private sector. A renewed focus is needed on PPM activities in SubSaharan Africa, as 50% of healthcare clients in this region initially seek treatment from the private sector,
meaning that there are a lot of missed opportunities for identifying TB symptoms early.
INTRODUCTION:
The Private Sector in Sub-Saharan Africa Intern will be assigned to the TB Team and will look at PPM schemes
and other possibilities for engaging private providers in TB control within sub-Saharan Africa. The Intern will
research the extent of PPM efforts in high TB burden countries in sub-Saharan Africa, including any promising
developments in engaging providers through health insurance schemes, and the capacity of organizations that
might contribute to future efforts. The Intern will work closely with other colleagues on the TB team and will
receive day to day direction from the Division Chief as his/her onsite manager.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
• Gaining an understanding of health systems structures that will promote private sector contributions to
TB diagnosis and cure in sub-Saharan Africa.
• Deepening skills in collaboration and coordination within a complex organizational and implementation
structure.
ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES:
Using a combination of desk research (PubMed and grey literature) and interviews, primary responsibilities
include:
• Producing a brief analysis of major PPM programming in high TB burden countries via an analysis of
Global Fund concept notes, which will also help familiarize the Intern with the field of PPM.
• Researching the size of the various components of the private health sector in high TB burden countries
in sub-Saharan Africa, and the coverage of TB PPM efforts in these countries.
• Determining the lead organizations responsible for TB PPM efforts in each country, including how they
are financed and their programmatic approach.
• Outlining the identities and organizational capacities of professional societies that might contribute to
PPM efforts in the study countries.
• Reviewing the status of insurance coverage in the study countries and any inclusion of private sector TB
diagnosis or treatment in those insurance schemes.
• For the study countries, identifying any other private provider engagement work (in the health sector
but outside of TB) that might provide lessons for TB PPM.
• Attending programmatic-related events within and outside USAID as requested.
• The intern will be expected to produce a short written report on global PPM programming (responding
to the first bullet) and then increasingly complete drafts of a longer, referenced report on PPM in subSaharan Africa.
• Other tasks or responsibilities may be assigned based on organizational and programming need and/or
the Intern’s own interests.
QUALIFICATIONS:
• Currently enrolled master’s or other post-bachelor’s degree candidate in a program related to social
sciences, public health or a related field; or completion of such within the past 12 months.
• Excellent writing and analytical skills, including experience with literature searches and in producing

BACKGROUND:
To curb the number of people - currently more than 1 billion worldwide, suffering from one or more NTDs,
USAID’s NTD program focuses on scale-up of preventive drug treatments for seven of the most prevalent NTDs
including: schistosomiasis, onchocerciasis, lymphatic filariasis, blinding trachoma, and three soil-transmitted
helminthes. An integrated mass treatment delivery approach targeting affected communities has been proven
safe and effective and after 5- 7 rounds of treatment can eliminate lymphatic filariasis and blinding trachoma.
The NTD program seeks to eliminate key diseases and alleviate the severe disability, including permanent
blindness, as well as the hindered growth, productivity, and cognitive development consequences caused by
NTDs. Additionally the program fully leverages the generous drug donations from the pharmaceutical sector.
In 2013, twenty-five countries have introduced or expanded integrated NTD control programming with USAID
support. USAID delivered almost 170,000,000 treatments in FY2013.
As the NTD Program has matured, new challenges and opportunities have emerged. USAID entered its eighth
year of support for integrated NTD programs. This is a critical time period in which the program is beginning to
evaluate the impact of mass drug administration (MDA) in the countries USAID has supported with MDA for 5-7
years. The program is currently being realigned to address the needs for increased impact evaluation activities
and continuing to support the current programs.

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.
BACKGROUND:
The Malaria Division under the Office of Health, Infectious Diseases, and Nutrition in the Bureau for Global
Health leads the President’s Malaria Initiative (PMI). PMI was launched in June 2005 as a five-year, $1.2 billion
initiative to rapidly scale up malaria prevention and treatment interventions and reduce malaria-related
mortality by 50% in 15 high-burden countries in sub-Saharan Africa. With passage of the 2008 Lantos-Hyde Act,
funding for PMI was extended and PMI’s strategy was revised to achieve Africa-wide impact by halving the
burden of malaria in 70 percent of at-risk populations in sub-Saharan Africa—or approximately 450 million
people. After five years of intervention, all-cause child mortality has been reduced by between 16% to 50% in
the original 15 PMI countries. Building on the success to date, PMI will be launching a new six-year strategy that
will focus on five strategic areas: 1) Achieving and sustaining scale of proven interventions; 2) Adapting to
changing epidemiology and new tools; 3) Improving countries’ capacity to collect and use information; 4)
Mitigating risks against the current malaria control gains; and 5) Building capacity and health systems towards
full country ownership. Please visit http://www.pmi.gov/about to learn more about PMI.

BACKGROUND:
The Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) Intern will be assigned to the USAID management team of the DHS
Program, and will be located in the Policy, Evaluation and Communication (PEC) Division within the Bureau for
Global Health’s (GH) Office of Population and Reproductive Health. The DHS Program is GH’s premier program
for the collection, analysis, and dissemination of nationally representative and cross-nationally comparable
health survey data. Since USAID began the program in 1984, it has provided technical assistance in the
implementation of more than 300 surveys in more than 90 countries. Today, it represents one of the largest
sources of health data for developing countries. More information about the DHS Program is available at
www.dhsprogram.com.
The role that quality of care plays in health behaviors and outcomes is an area of increasing interest to health
program managers and policy makers. Quality of care is, however, notoriously difficult to measure due to its
multi-dimensional and complex nature. Furthermore, commonly agreed upon definitions of high quality care are
rare. While the DHS Program is uniquely positioned to measure quality of care through its facility-based survey
platform—the Service Provision Assessment (SPA) — quality of care indicators must first be well defined in order
for SPA data to be meaningful.
INTRODUCTION:
The DHS Intern will work with the DHS management team to: 1) undertake a literature review and collect
information from key informants to identify key quality of care indicators, especially in the area of family
planning (FP); 2) review the current SPA instruments; and 3) make recommendations about how SPA can better

guidance from the DHS Program’s Technical Advisor and Contracting Officer Representative who will serve as
his/her onsite manager.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
• Gaining a greater understanding of the content, management and use of one of USAID’s largest and best
known programs of international health surveys in the health sector.
• Deepening skills in collaboration and coordination within a complex organizational and implementation
structure.
ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES:
• Conducting a literature review on FP quality of care.
• Conducting key informant interviews with experts in FP as well as experts in quality of care.
• Reviewing SPA instruments—observation, client exit interview, inventory, health worker interview, and
service readiness protocols—to identify quality of care data currently captured.
• Producing a synthesis paper detailing common definitions and key components of quality of care,
measurement approaches, and recommendations about how SPA can better collect and/or present
quality of care information.
• Attending biweekly meetings of the USAID DHS Management Team, visiting the DHS project
headquarters, and participating in weekly PEC Division meetings.
• Other tasks or responsibilities may be assigned based on organizational and programming need and/or
the Intern’s own interests.

BACKGROUND
In 2011, the PEPFAR Family Planning and HIV/AIDS (FP/HIV) Integration Task Force was formed to strengthen
integrated FP/HIV programming within PEPFAR-funded platforms. The Interagency Team is spearheaded by the
Office of the Global AIDS Coordinator (OGAC) and includes representatives from USAID‘s Bureau for Global
Health’s (GH) Offices of HIV/AIDS and Population and Reproductive Health, Centers for Disease Control,
Department of Defense, Health and Human Services, and Health Resources and Services Administration. The
Task Force aims to: promote and strengthen FP/HIV integration across PEPFAR; assist countries in Country
Operational Plan planning and implementation; strengthen monitoring and evaluation related to FP/HIV
integration; disseminate best practices and approaches to field teams; provide support for country teams on
FP/HIV legislative and policy compliance issues; and engage external stakeholders including civil society and key
organizations, including other donors.
The US Government (USG) FP/HIV integration Task Force is working to accelerate the implementation of FP/HIV
activities across PEPFAR-supported programs through the centrally-managed $26.9 FP/HIV Acceleration
Initiative. Five countries (Malawi, Tanzania, Uganda, Nigeria, and Zambia) were selected to receive one-time
funding of up to $5M to strengthen FP/HIV programming. Country teams have proposed to use their
acceleration funding for community-based comprehensive mobile health services for key populations;
integration of HIV and FP logistics systems; capacity building of FP providers to conduct HIV counseling and
testing; training of HIV service providers to provide comprehensive FP counseling and services; strengthening FP
services in health facilities with Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission (PMTCT) programs; and revising and
strengthening FP/HIV guidelines for implementation.
45
USAID’s Global Health Fellows Program II is implemented by the Public Health Institute and its partners

In addition to providing one-time funding to the FP/HIV acceleration countries, funding has been allocated for
headquarters country support and evaluation activities. Planned activities include: operations research to
examine different models for integration of FP and HIV service delivery; comparing efficiencies in providing FP
services; development of a costing framework for PMTCT FP activities; translations and dissemination of USG
policy and legislative compliance materials; and technical assistance for country programs.
USAID has been leading FP/HIV integration efforts for many decades and serves as a USG lead for FP/HIV
integration efforts. Information on USAID’s work in FP/HIV can be found at http://www.usaid.gov/what-wedo/global-health/hiv-and-aids/technical-areas/promoting-integration-family-planning-hiv-and.

BACKGROUND:
The Malaria Division under the Office of Office of Health, Infectious Diseases, and Nutrition in the Bureau for
Global Health leads the President’s Malaria Initiative (PMI). The PMI was launched in June 2005 as a five-year,
$1.2 billion initiative to rapidly scale up malaria prevention and treatment interventions and reduce malariarelated mortality by 50% in 15 high-burden countries in sub-Saharan Africa. With passage of the 2008 LantosHyde Act, funding for PMI was extended and PMI’s strategy was revised to achieve Africa-wide impact by halving
the burden of malaria in 70 percent of at-risk populations in sub-Saharan Africa. The goal of PMI is to work with
partners to halve the burden of malaria (morbidity and mortality) in 70 percent of the at-risk populations of subSaharan Africa—or approximately 450 million people. PMI will achieve this goal by expanding coverage of four
highly effective malaria prevention and treatment measures to the most vulnerable populations: pregnant
women and children less than five years of age. These interventions include insecticide-treated mosquito nets
(ITNs), indoor residual spraying (IRS) with insecticides, intermittent preventive treatment for pregnant women
(IPTp), and prompt use of artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs) for those who have been diagnosed
with malaria. Please visit http://www.pmi.gov/about.

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.
BACKGROUND:
The Childhood TB Intern will be assigned to the Tuberculosis (TB) Team in the Infectious Disease (ID) Division,
under the Office of Health, Infectious Diseases, and Nutrition (HIDN) within the Bureau for Global Health (GH).
The TB Team at USAID has led the US Government efforts in the fight to prevent and treat TB, which kills about
1.4 million people annually. USAID programs focus on improving TB services in 28 countries, saving lives and
preventing the spread of TB and multidrug-resistant TB. The goal of USAID efforts is to contribute significantly to
the reduction of TB transmission and deaths globally.
Challenges within childhood TB include determining the actual burden of TB (both drug sensitive and drug
resistant TB) in children in developing countries, assuring that national guidelines are up-to-date and in
compliance with WHO recommendations, applying new diagnostic tools, and advocating for contact case
management (CCM) for both diagnostic and preventive purposes (e.g. isoniazid prophylaxis, or isoniazid
preventive therapy [IPT]). In addition, clinical researchers are recognizing the importance of the earlier
introduction of children into clinical trials (treatment regimens and new drugs). In 2010, an innovative diagnostic
tool called GeneXpert MTB/RIF (Xpert) was endorsed by WHO. USAID has been supporting its roll-out and scaleup over the past 3 years. In addition, WHO now recommends its use as a first line diagnostic tool for childhood
TB. However, there may still be utility in utilizing “older” diagnostics either in certain settings or with the Xpert.
The use of GeneXpert for childhood TB is only at its beginning at the field level for this purpose.

The Childhood TB Intern will support the TB Team by building on the landscape analysis for countries in Asia and
Africa, with a focus on TB CCM projects for children that can be scaled up. S/he will develop coordinate with the
TB team to develop action plans for two or more countries where CCM are relevant and feasible. It has long
been recognized that CCM helps to identify possible active cases of TB as well as those who are at risk of
exposure and infection due to close contact with an active case; children under 5 years of age and especially
those under 2 are particularly vulnerable. Several countries have national policies in place for IPT in children, but
few are able to successfully implement such a program for many reasons. Given that the burden of childhood TB
is underestimated and that children are likely to develop an active case more quickly once exposed and infected,
it makes sense to facilitate more robust CCM and IPT programs in the field. It is important for USAID and
partners to understand what initiatives are likely to be endorsed in the future in order to plan for support of
these projects through training, tools, and drugs in countries. The Intern will receive day to day directions from
the Medical Officer on the TB Team who will serve as his/her onsite manager. The intern will also work with the
other colleagues on the TB Team.

profiles on parameters currently used in the childhood TB tracker.
• Supplying evidence-based recommendations on CCM and IPT for USAID TB core and field projects.
• Attending programmatic-related events within and outside USAID as requested.
• Other tasks or responsibilities may be assigned based on organizational and programming need and/or
the Intern’s own interests.
QUALIFICATIONS:
• Currently enrolled master’s or other post-bachelor’s degree candidate in a program related to social
sciences, public health or related fields; or, completion of such within the past 12 months.
