INTRODUCTION:

The FP/HIV Integration Intern will be assigned to the Youth and Integration Team of the Implementation Support (IS) Division within the GH’s Office of HIV/AIDS.

The Intern will support efforts to build a learning platform for coordinated learning and joint analysis around the findings of intervention-linked research supported by the Acceleration Initiative and USAID Mission-supported activities. S/he will also work closely with USAID headquarters staff, USAID Mission staff, and other stakeholders to support the implementation of FP/HIV activities across USAID-supported programs. S/he will research, review, document, and/or analyze the best practices in FP/HIV implementation of PEPFAR-supported programs, including those funded by the Acceleration Initiative and other USAID partners and stakeholders. This will include reviewing existing national policies, national resources, implementing partner programs, generating information on gaps and strengths, synthesizing information on the key opportunities, and distilling this learning as a seminal piece of literature.
