Intern, Advocacy - Public Policy Engagement

BACKGROUND

The Public Policy Engagement unit is tasked with leading and supporting vaccine advocacy at the global, regional and national levels. It does this by scanning the political horizon for developments and opportunities, choosing direct or related priority policy, platforms, processes or partnerships to engage with and ripening negotiating or political dynamics for favourable outcomes. The unit develops and maintains political and policy relationships, and provides analysis, advice, advocacy tools and methods for colleagues, partners, CSOs, and decision makers. In external dialogues, the unit can represent Gavi or support the participation of Gavi leadership, colleagues or partners.
