Internship Opportunity: Join Our Onchocerciasis Elimination Project in Yemen

We are offering an exciting internship opportunity for individuals passionate about public health, disease elimination, and field-based interventions. This internship is ideal for candidates with a background in public health, epidemiology, biostatistics, or related fields.

About EMPHNET’s Work in the Area of Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs)

EMPHNET is committed to supporting efforts that eliminate and control neglected tropical diseases in the region. By working closely with ministries of health and global health partners, EMPHNET contributes to mass drug administration (MDA) campaigns, disease surveillance, program monitoring and evaluation, and health workforce capacity building in hard-to-reach and underserved communities.

About the Project

This project continues EMPHNET’s collaboration with Yemen’s Ministry of Public Health and Population (MoPHP) and the END Fund to eliminate onchocerciasis. The project focuses on preparatory activities, including microplanning, securing approvals, training community health workers, and supporting a third-party monitor in conducting a Coverage Evaluation Survey (CES) following the MDA.

The intern’s main responsibilities include:

Assisting in collecting, entering, and organizing data from the MDA and CES
Supporting preliminary data analysis to inform project decision-making
Monitoring and evaluating the work of the third-party conducting the CES, ensuring adherence to protocols
Contributing to documenting project processes and outcomes, including interim and final reports
Tracking progress against project indicators and assisting in assessing the impact of the intervention
Providing insights and recommendations to improve future program implementation

Requirements:

Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Public Health, Epidemiology, or a related field.
Skills: Basic knowledge of NTDs, strong data management skills, familiarity with both qualitative and quantitative analysis, and strong writing and communication abilities
Languages: Proficiency in English and strong command of Arabic (Arabic is required due to the field setting in Yemen).
