Office of the President Intern

PATH is a global nonprofit dedicated to achieving health equity. With more than 40 years of experience forging multisector partnerships and with expertise in science, economics, technology, advocacy, and dozens of other specialties, PATH develops and scales up innovative solutions to the world’s most pressing health challenges.

Under the direction of the CEO & President, the Office of the President works to guide PATH’s strategic approach internally and at global and country levels. PATH has set out to expand the scope of our respectful partnerships with national and local governments, with a view to enabling broader and deeper impact across the health sector. Partnerships across Europe and the EU are important funding partners enabling progress in the health sector at the national and local levels. In this context, PATH prioritised the strengthening of its work with EU and European stakeholders.

This intern will work with the Associate Partnerships Manager and the Head of Office of the President to support PATH’s partnership strategy with research, analysis and recommendations.

The intern will support the partnerships strategy in collecting data on the overall funding flows, landscape assessments, also reviewing the optimal way of storing, maintaining and sharing resources across the organization. These insights will contribute to a comprehensive library of health opportunities in priority regions. Additionally, the intern will collaborate with the Project Manager to review and identify potential funding opportunities for PATH. The final deliverable will be a detailed library – with a maintenance plan and clear owners ensuring sustainability - that includes the health priorities, activities, and funding opportunities.
