Assignment: Two year fellowshipGHFP-10-164
The Global Health Fellows Program (GHFP)is a five year cooperative agreement implemented and managed by the Public Health Institute (PHI) in partnership with the Harvard School of Public Health, Management Systems International, and Tulane University School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine. GHFP is supported by the US Agency for International Development (USAID). The goal of GHFP is to improve the effectiveness of USAID Population, Health and Nutrition programs by developing and increasing capacity of health professionals in Washington, DC and overseas. This is accomplished through the recruitment, placement and support of junior, mid and senior level health professionals; a diversity initiative focused on providing internship and mentoring opportunities in international public health to underrepresented communities; and professional and organizational development activities to bolster USAID’s ability to maximize results and strengthen its leadership role in global health.

INTRODUCTION
Over the second phase of the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), country teams will be working closely with their government counterparts to translate, prioritize and implement the newly developed PEPFAR Tanzania Partnership Framework to fit the country context, fully align and harmonize with key Government of Tanzania (GOT) development and HIV/AIDS strategies, and meet the new five year PEPFAR Strategy and Global Health Initiative goals. Prevention remains a paramount challenge of the HIV/AIDS epidemic and is a major priority of both the GOT and the US Government (USG) in the next phase of PEPFAR. A successful prevention program requires a combination of mutually reinforcing, continually evaluated interventions that are tailored to the needs and risks of different target populations. In Tanzania, the USG PEPFAR Prevention Strategic Results Unit has supported the Tanzania AIDS Commission (TACAIDS) Prevention Technical Working Committee over the past year to develop the first National Prevention Strategy.
