Intern Jobs at EngenderHealth.
Overview
EngenderHealth Tanzania was
awarded a five-year global Post-abortion care Family Planning (PAC-FP) Project
by the United State Agency for International Development (USAID) in August
2014. The project aims to document and support alternative models for delivery
of postabortion care services with integration of family planning, focusing on
increased uptake of long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) among PAC
clients. The project is currently being implemented in Tanzania and Senegal. In
both countries, the project conducts implementation research aimed at
addressing persistent obstacles to providing family planning counseling and
services, including long-acting reversible contraception and permanent methods
to post-abortion care clients and lessons learned from these two countries will
contribute to global learning in PAC. In Tanzania, the project is implemented
in the Lake zone (Mwanza and Geita regions) and Zanzibar (Unguja and Pemba).

intern is to assist in the day-to-day implementation and operation of multiple
research studies conducted by the PAC-FP project. In addition, the intern will
gather information on a particular topic that may be the subject of a protocol,

and research as guided by the supervisor.
