    Descrição

    JOB SUMMARY:

    SAWSO seeks an intern to maintain and update an ongoing risk mapping exercise to support the Salvation Army’s health work in light of recent cuts to US government development funding. The Salvation Army runs over 150 hospitals or clinics (health care facilities) situated all around the world. Recently, the landscape of foreign aid has shifted dramatically. Major donor governments—including the United States, the United Kingdom, and European Union member states—are reassessing their foreign assistance commitments. Prior to January 2025, the US was the world’s largest single foreign aid donor, providing more than 40% of all humanitarian aid – about $72 billion in 2023, according to the UN. This year, approximately $60 billion has been cut from the US's foreign assistance programs.

    Support ongoing efforts to map the risk of USAID cuts to TSA’s health work.

    • Contribute information on TSA health work to detailed profiles for key TSA countries documenting their programming in health, Modern Slavery and Anti Human Trafficking (MSAHT), emergency response and other sectors; sources and amounts of outside funding received, etc.
    • Identify relevant information on key global health issues (such as status of funding for services to people living with HIV, tuberculosis, maternal and child health, nutrition, family planning, malaria, and neglected tropical diseases) for potential inclusion on an internal web page for TSA territories to access information on the evolving status and forecasts regarding official development assistance from USG and other donor nations as well as key private donors (e.g. Gates)
    • Conduct occasional semi-structured interviews with key informants in Sub-Saharan Africa and Asia to gather information on on-the-ground impact of foreign aid cuts to TSA’s work (Preferably in English and French).
    • Collect updates on policies and qualitative and quantitative figures on key global health issues from publicly available sources on a regular basis to keep up to date with the evolving situation; synthesize this information to include in periodic updates.
    • Contribute to periodic web-based reviews to determine the current state of foreign assistance to health (US government, UK, Netherlands, the Global Fund for AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (Global Fund), the Vaccine Alliance (GAVI), World Health Organization and others) in light of the major cuts to USG funding and the elimination of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) that began in early 2025.
    • Monitor press and social media (in English and in French) for local news pertinent to the impacts of assistance cuts.
    • Research and contribute key information to support occasional briefs and case studies providing updates on: changes in governmental and non-governmental international assistance, the impact of changes in international assistance, specific programs and communities within TSA’s current operational areas that have been/are projected to be impacted by changes in international assistance, and periodic presentations to SAWSO and other stakeholders.
