Global Health Corps Fellowship applications are now open!

Applications for the 2014-2015 Global Health Corps fellowship are now open! Global Health Corps is creating a new breed of leaders that develop innovative solutions to the world’s most challenging health problems. Please help us find our next class of emerging leaders.

Part two of the application will be posted on December 6, 2013. Applications close January 26, 2014.

Global Health Corps places talented individuals from a wide variety of backgrounds in high impact roles in NGOs and government agencies in sub-Saharan Africa and the US in a 1-year, paid fellowship. Through intensive training, professional development, mentorship, and thoughtful community building, we ensure that fellows are equipped to be global health changemakers during their fellowship and beyond.

Ayokunle Abogan	Lorraine Kabunga	Colin Gerber
Ayokunle “Ayo” Abogan recently received his Master’s degree in Public Affairs with a certificate in Health and Health Policy from Princeton University. He previously worked in asset management at Goldman Sachs before returning to Nigeria to work in government and volunteer with Clinton Health Access Initiative. This year, Ayo is serving as a Health Policy Fellow at the City of Newark in the US, where he is working to strengthen local healthcare systems and reduce health disparities.	Lorraine Kabunga has worked to strengthen the Ugandan pharmacy system at central institutions such as the Mulago Hospital, the Kadic Hospital, and the Infectious Diseases Institute, strengthening supply chains, logistics analysis, and pharmaceutical care. This year, she is working with the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) in Uganda as an Access to Medicine Analyst, developing and implementing CHAI’s drug-intervention program to address mother-to-child transmission of HIV/AIDS.	Colin Gerber brings a diverse background and skillset to his position as Monitoring and Evaluation Officer at Partners In Health in Rwanda. He has studied rural empowerment through land management in Mali, worked on rural health improvement projects for safe drinking water and sanitation in Uganda, and led a small group of American high school students on a cultural exchange and service-learning trip in Ghana.

Fellows work in teams of two – an international fellow paired with a local fellow– creating a partnership that is central to Global Health Corps’ work building a community of leaders that reach across sectors, disciplines, and borders to effect change. From project management to monitoring and evaluation, engineering, communications, and architecture, our fellows bring diverse skillsets and experiences to the movement for health equity.

Please join us in spreading the word that our applications for the next fellowship class are now open!

Sincerely,

Barbara Bush and the Global Health Corps Team
