About your division/team

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. Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs), including the World Bank, are collectively the most important funding partner enabling progress in the health sector at the national and local levels. In this context, PATH prioritized the strengthening of its work with MDBs, with a view to (1) identify and structure specific areas of alignment and complementarity, (2) define PATH’s value proposition, and (3) expand the specific country‐based engagements.  This intern will work with the Associate Project Manager to support PATH’s MDB strategy.
