Overview
The Leadership, Management, and Governance (LMG) Project collaborates with health leaders at all levels to improve leadership, management and governance practices to create stronger health systems and improved health for all, including some of the world’s most vulnerable populations. In many resource-poor settings, physicians or nurses are often the most educated or highly trained and are given responsibility for managing a local hospital clinic, or other health facility. Although they are often well-trained clinically, they often do not have the basic management, logistics, governance, or other skills needed to help ensure that the facility is run successfully.
The LMG project achieves these objectives by:
- Promoting enhanced performance improvement processes for individuals and teams that is driven by country leadership
- Using participatory processes and gender-aware approaches that enable health leaders and policy-makers to address their own challenges, and achieve results
- Building and using evidence-based approaches
- Leveraging partnerships through public and private investments in leadership, management and governance for greater health gains worldwide
Specific Responsibilities
This internship is an opportunity to work in collaboration with the MER team to examine the link between L+M+G and service delivery. A rapid assessment of the peer-reviewed and grey literature review has been conducted. While all the literature has been gathered, a review and an annotated bibliography of this literature is the next step in the evidence compendium process. Specific responsibilities include:
- Review all peer-reviewed and grey literature associated with leadership, management and governance and health service delivery and provide a full annotated bibliography for all peer reviewed and grey literature.
- Write a summary document highlighting key themes from the literature to be incorporated into the final compendium of evidence developed by the MER team.
- Participate in weekly team evidence compendium meetings.
- Other tasks, as assigned.
Candidates should be enrolled in a graduate program, preferably in public health or global health program. Required skills include:
- Experience in the use of Microsoft applications to include: MS Word, PowerPoint, and Excel
- Experience conducting systematic and/or rapid assessment literatures reviews
- Experience with reference software, previous experience using Zotero is a plus
- Attention to detail, strong organizational/documentation skills, and ability to meet deadlines
- Excellent writing and editing skills
- Familiarity with a LMIC health system is a plus
- Ability to work independently with a flexible schedule
- Excellent interpersonal and coordination skills
Student takeaways and application of skills:
- Working with the MER team on the LMG Project, the student should come to better understand the interplay between L+M+G and health service delivery interventions as well as becoming familiar with the interplay with the other WHO health system building blocks.
- Develop an understanding of the complexities of measuring and rigorously documenting upstream interventions as they relate to service delivery.
- Gain experience working and writing collaboratively on key deliverables to USAID.
- Co-authorship on the final technical brief for the evidence compendium
- Knowledge and skills learned can be applied to future Health Systems Strengthening work in LMIC, program design and evaluation, and capacity building intervention development in L+M+G.
