Intern (m/f/d) in the Global Program BACKUP Health - Supporting Global Health

BACKUP Health is a global, operational project in the health sector, implemented by GIZ, on behalf of the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and co-financed by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation. The aim of the global project is to enable partner countries to use the funds provided by the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (GF) in ways that strengthen their overall health systems and allow for a more sustainable and self-reliant response to HIV, Tuberculosis and Malaria (HTM). BACKUP Health has 9 focus countries: Cameroon, Malawi, Mozambique, Nigeria, Tanzania and Uganda in Africa and Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan in Central Asia. In these countries, BACKUP Health offers advisory services via local project teams, develops catalytic investments in co-creation with its partners and complements the expertise with consultancies where needed.

The project’s activities are closely aligned with the current priorities of the Global Fund. In particular, the programme supports countries to manage an effective transition towards self-reliance and sustainable and resilient health financing; integrate services and systems for HTM into national primary health care (PHC); build capacities for community systems strengthening to ensure marginalised populations continue to engage in the system; as well as to carry out activities around health products for HIV, TB and malaria in Africa. This internship is in support of the HQ-based Country Management Team (CMT) with a focus on health financing, HTM-integration into PHC and community systems strengthening.
