Location: Washington, DC/Arlington, VA | February 2016-August 2016: Compensated 6 month Internship | INT-P5-035

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
In cooperation with the US Department of State's Office of the US Global AIDS Coordinator, 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. The Office of HIV/AIDS (OHA) is the focus of technical leadership for USAID and has primary responsibility for leading the Agency's efforts within President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). More information about PEPFAR may be found at http://www.usaid.gov/what-we-do/global-health/hiv-and-aids.

Health Information Systems (HIS)/ Health Management Information Systems (HMIS) activities are a key component of PEPFAR Strategic Information (SI) programs.

SIGN UP FOR GH891 – Global Pharmaceutical Policy: At the Intersection of Process and Politics

December 10th, 2015 in Fellowships

STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND SIGN UP FOR GH891 (SPRING 2016)

WHY IS ACCESS TO OPIATES SUCH A DIFFICULT PHARMACEUTICAL POLICY PROBLEM?
WHY SHOULD COUNTRIES IN AFRICA BOTHER MAKING THEIR OWN MEDICINES?
DO YOU THINK THE FDA SHOULD REGULATE E-CIGARETTES?
HAVE YOU EVER TESTIFIED BEFORE A SENATE SUBCOMMITTEE?

A wide range of challenges face policy makers in the pharmaceutical sector, from the role of citizen participation in decision-making to regulation of opioids and pain killers to deciding on the most appropriate way of regulating, if at all, ‘new technologies’ such as electronic cigarettes. Quite often, in the United States and elsewhere, pro-public health policies may meet a certain degree of political and interest group resistance.

This course is intended to introduce the student to the ‘real world’ of pharmaceutical policy making in global health. The course introduces students to global pharmaceutical policies with specific examples as case studies and group exercises . The case studies in the course will be updated year-to-year to introduce current and controversial issues. The intention is to build on the models and methods covered in “Pharmaceuticals in Public Health” (PH 740) and apply these approaches to specific pharmaceutical policy issues.

This course will assist students who later find employment in national administrations, government agencies, and other bodies that deal with pharmaceuticals on a regular or occasional basis and/or as staff members and consultants of global organizations, health sector nongovernmental organizations, and other health projects with a pharmaceutical component. Students who intend to work within the pharmaceutical industry will also benefit, particularly if they aspire to work in Government Affairs or Business Development departments.

Africa Regional HIV/AIDS Advisor

Technical Advisor I/II

Health Team, Office of Sustainable Development, Africa Bureau, United States Agency for International Development

Location: Washington, DC | Assignment: Two Year Fellowship | GHFP-II-P5-184

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.

BACKGROUND

In little more than three decades, AIDS has established itself as a global crisis with an estimated 35 million people infected.  HIV/AIDS has stimulated an unprecedented global response. Billions of dollars have been spent to provide comprehensive prevention programs, treatment and care for those infected, and families and communities affected by the disease.

The US Government (USG) has been fully engaged, and since establishing the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) in 2003, it has been a leader in the global effort to combat HIV/AIDS. PEPFAR is the largest commitment by any nation to address a single disease. Through PEPFAR, the US government has invested $65 billion dollars toward comprehensive prevention, treatment, and care strategy, with an emphasis on transparency and accountability for results.

In 2015, the USG launched ambitious new PEPFAR HIV prevention and treatment targets for 2016 and 2017. By the end of 2017, PEPFAR will support 12.9 million people on life-saving anti-retroviral treatment - nearly doubling the number of people receiving treatment from 2013 to 2017.PEPFAR will also provide 13 million male circumcisions for HIV prevention, and reduce HIV incidence by 40 percent among adolescent girls and young women within the highest burdened areas of 10 sub-Saharan African countries.

In addition to providing an unprecedented commitment of resources, PEPFAR has demanded a results-oriented way of doing business, with high levels of accountability, establishment of measureable goals against which progress has been tracked and evaluated, and funding decisions made based on performance towards these goals. PEPFAR is expected to play a pivotal role in the whole of Government Global Health Initiative that is being rolled out across the region.

The Africa Bureau's Office of Sustainable Development (AFR/SD) provides strategic guidance and intellectual leadership to AFR; conducts economic, social and political analyses critical to the development of AFR policies, strategies, budgets and activities; manages or coordinates three Presidential and two Agency Initiatives; and provides technical services to AFR's field missions. In carrying out these functions, AFR/SD serves as the Bureau's principal liaison with African and international partners, USG sister agencies, the private sector, universities and the Private Voluntary Organization (PVO)/Non-governmental Organization (NGO) community.

AFR/SD's Health Team works across all sectors related to health, including HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis (TB), Malaria, Maternal and Child Health (MCH), Reproductive Health and Family Planning, Emerging Pandemic Threats and Health Systems Strengthening. The Team directly manages activities that support African capacity development and improving the lives of Africa's most vulnerable populations.

The Health Team works in close collaboration with other USAID Bureaus, including the Bureau for Global Health, and other pillar and Regional Bureaus to integrate programs and coordinate strategic and technical support to USAID missions, program reviews and assessments, and staff development. It works closely with African and donor partners such as the African Union, the World Health Organization, the World Bank and others.

Under PEPFAR, USAID's AFR has played a strong role in helping to implement HIV/AIDS services and activities in the region. AFR staff have participated on PEPFAR Technical Working Groups, providing technical assistance to countries and providing leadership in areas such as orphans and vulnerable children, pediatric and adolescent HIV/AIDS, gender-based violence, integration of prevention of maternal to child transmission of HIV (PMTCT), MCH, pediatric AIDS, and family planning, among others. Meeting the challenges of the next decade will require continued leadership and sustained efforts - and will require improved and new approaches and skills to support activities that can define and meet complex challenges of promoting sustainable national commitments and a harmonization of HIV/AIDS activities with national and global public health priorities.

INTRODUCTION

The Africa Regional HIV/AIDS Advisor (Advisor) will work as a member of AFR/SD's Health Team. The Advisor, in collaboration with the Health Team Leader and the Senior Program Advisor, will liaise with the Office of HIV/AIDS (OHA) within USAID's Bureau for Global Health (GH)as well as with the Office of the Global AIDS Coordinator (OGAC) within the US Department of State.
