Country: United States of America
Closing date: 17 Dec 2014
The HR for Supply Chain Management Evaluation Intern will be assigned to the Commodities Security Logistics Division (CSL) under the Office of Population and Reproductive Health (PRH) in the Bureau for Global Health (GH). The PRH Office provides coordination and performance tracking for the family planning component of the United States Government's (USG) Global Health Initiative. The CSL Division supports USAID’s efforts to strengthen commodity security – i.e., improving the availability of and access to essential health commodities for people in low and middle income countries. Commodity security is an essential component of health services. In many low and middle income countries, people are often unable to reliably access health commodities due to inadequate supply, policy barriers, ineffective health systems, and limited understanding of the marketplace. Expertise across a range of disciplines is required to advance commodity security, and to design and implement policies and programs that support it. Financing, policy reform, market segmentation and development, procurement, logistics, workforce capacity, performance improvement, and institutional strengthening are just some areas of concern.
