In the immediate aftermath of a disaster or conflict, and throughout the transition from emergency response to recovery and sustainable development, Save the Children’s presence in 120 countries facilitates the rapid delivery of evidence-based and innovative health and nutrition interventions that address the major causes of illness and death among the world’s most vulnerable populations. The Emergency Health and Nutrition (EHN) intern will work under the supervision of the Program Coordinator with oversight from the Director and will primarily focus on knowledge management activities along with administrative, logistical and programmatic support as needed.
Areas of Responsibility:
- Assist the Emergency Health and Nutrition (EHN) team with projects that come up, which could range for example from creating and editing e-learning modules for recently developed tools, supporting the preparation of international trainings, or developing advocacy documents.
- Work with the Program Coordinator to track the team’s evolving portfolio at the global, regional and country levels. This would include reviewing grant proposals and reports, leading follow-up communications with our field-based staff, performing desk reviews for potential fundraising opportunities, etc.
- Attend webinars and brown bag presentations to learn more about Save the Children's ongoing emergency work and identify opportunities for linkages with EHN team projects.
- Improve knowledge management within the team and across the organization. This includes maintaining our technical toolkits, developing briefers and factsheets, and assisting with webinars and presentations to promote EHN work internally and externally.
