Background
Since 2006, the Yale Global Health Leadership Institute (GHLI) has collaborated in Ethiopia
with the Federal Ministry of Health and institutions of higher education as a key academic
partner to strengthen leadership and quality of care across Ethiopian hospitals and the
primary health care system. Yale Global Enterprises (YGE) is an Ethiopian-based subsidiary
of Yale University that supports GHLI operations in Ethiopia for successful program
implementation. YGE employs staff supporting GHLI projects in Ethiopia, manages local
human resource and financial systems, and as of November 2015, has a country office in
Addis Ababa to support GHLI projects and staff.
Project Description
Primary Healthcare Transformation Initiative (PTI) is a three-year program run by YGE
that aims to transform management and leadership capacity at the woreda (district) level
to build a culture of performance management and accountability and prepare the woreda
to lead the primary health care units of the future. This work also involves collaboration
with partners to build a quality culture, as performance management and accountability
are foundational to efforts to promote quality delivery of healthcare services.
The intern will collaborate with GHLI and YGE program leadership in Ethiopia and New
Haven to assist with the evaluation of the PTI. In Ethiopia, the intern will work with PTI
management mentors and senior regional managers to compile, analyze, and summarize
PTI assessment data, including quantitative assessment results and qualitative interviews.
