Agency for International Development	1	USAID-USA-2		Analytical writing, Cultural diplomacy, Data analysis, Research	Social protection programming emerged roughly twenty years ago however, in the last decade it has become one of the three main elements of development, along with growth and human development. USAID sees social protection as a key strategy to build and strengthen resilience. Social protection is a means to reduce poverty, promote inclusive development, build social and human capital and achieve greater gender equity and social cohesion. It allows poor and vulnerable populations to break intergenerational cycles of poverty and augment human and social capital and contributes to the country’s journey to self-reliance. Global responses to COVID 19 have demonstrated the critical importance social protection programs can play as part of disaster response. The flexing, adapting and expanding of government owned and led social protection programs represent an effective and efficient means to address immediate and short-term needs, reducing external investments in Humanitarian Assistance. USAID is interest in learning the key challenges and opportunities to helping governments expand social protection systems, as well as clear understanding of the current state of play in the social protection arena and where USAID should engage in that space. The intern will support staff in the USAID Bureau for Resilience and Food Security, Center for Resilience (RFS/CR) to conduct research and analysis that will inform USAID priorities. This includes review, analysis and summary of relevant: ● Scientific and other literature ● Interviews with donors and other organizations such as the World Bank and International Labor Organization. ● Interviews with USAID mission staff and host country governments The research and analysis may examine one or more of the following topics: I. What Happening in Social protection? • Who are the main actors? • What are the main networks, fora, boards, agendas? • What are key resources to learn about Social protection? • Recommendations for USAID engagement II. Social protection Inventory • Conduct a social protection inventory in the 14 resilience focus countries. o What social protection programs exist in country? (Social assistance, social insurance, labor market interventions) o Who is funding them? o Who are they reaching? For what purpose? o Identify gaps and funding opportunities o Will need to find contacts with World Bank and ILO at minimum, ask who else you should speak to. • Conduct USAID Social protection Inventory o What social protection programs are being funded by USAID?  Engage Education, Global Health, RFS, BHA, Africa Bureau  Engage missions in the 14 resilience focus countries o What opportunities are there to invest in social protection? Where do programs exist that USAID could be supporting?

Programs supported by USAID have included provision of effective interventions, policy promotion, and system strengthening. However, USAID is a large and diverse agency without central coordination of MHPSS activities. The full picture of the agency’s activities, capacities, and needs has only recently begun to be mapped and described, through the efforts of the recently formed USAID internal MHPSS Working Group. This information has become critical as USAID increasingly recognizes the importance of MHPSS in LMIC. This intern will assist USAID MHPSS technical experts to develop a complete description of the agency’s MHPSS activities, identify gaps in programming and capacity, and develop information and materials to meet those gaps. The overall result will be more efficient and effective support by USAID of the priority MHPSS needs of LMIC. Activities will include supporting a proposed MHPSS Evidence Summit that will bring together global MHPSS experts to inform USAID policy and practices. Description of tasks: - Track MHPSS activities of USAID, to build a database that provides a picture of the agency’s MHPSS activities and thereby informs gaps in USAID activities and capacity. - Work with USAID MHPSS experts to develop content that addresses these gaps. This includes maintaining an updated database of the evidence supporting various MHPSS interventions, in order to identify which are evidence based and which are not. - Develop methods to deliver this content through online materials and training. - Support planning and implementation of the USAID MHPSS Summit. Deliverables, in collaboration with USAID Staff: - Searchable, regularly updated database on USAID MHPSS programming - Regularly updated literature review on effective MHPSS interventions in LMIC - Online training materials - MHPSS Evidence Summit support		United States		The internship is virtual, but the intern will need to be available to communicate with USAID staff in various locations on the east coast. We are looking for students currently pursuing a Masters or PhD in MHPSS. Preferred qualifications include experience in review of black and grey literature, knowledge of USAID, and some field experience in MHPSS in LMIC and/or emergency contexts.	2020-06-08 14:54:14	100		3069

Analytical writing, Graphic design, Research	Topics in Global Food Animal Systems: Livestock Ownership and Environmental Enteric Dysfunction	Support the Food Animal Systems Team in the Bureau for Resilience and Food Security at USAID by performing a literature review and landscape analysis on the linkages between food animal ownership, hygiene practices, and environmental enteric dysfunction using a One Health approach.	Agency for International Development	1	USAID-USA-58		Analytical writing, Graphic design, Research	The Bureau for Resilience and Food Security (RFS) houses four technical centers: the Center for Ag-Led Growth, Center for Water, Center for Nutrition, and the Center for Resilience. Food Animals are a cross-cutting topic for the Bureau as they contribute to agricultural production, economic prosperity, nutritious diets, and resilient populations. The Food Animal Systems Team within RFS is comprised of livestock and aquaculture experts representing various equities including agriculture, nutrition, and resilience. This team collaborates to provide technical assistance to Missions, assist with livestock program design, and elevate the importance of livestock and fish within the bureau. This team is seeking an intern to perform a literature review and landscape analysis on linkages between livestock ownership, hygiene practices, and environmental enteric dysfunction (EED), a subclinical disorder of intestinal function common in young children in tropical countries and in settings of poverty and economic disadvantage. There is a significant body of evidence related to livestock ownership and its positive effects on economic and nutritional outcomes. A recent area of research explores the connections between livestock ownership, animal husbandry and EED including sanitation practices, exposure of children to animal feces, and comparative diversity of gut microflora populations between livestock and non-livestock owning households. Reducing exposure of children to animal feces and pathogens including Salmonella, Campylobacter, and E. coli in a low resource setting is a complex challenge which will benefit from a multisectoral One Health approach to develop practical solutions. The aim of this project is to perform a literature review and generate a report on current knowledge about EED, the linkages between livestock ownership and EED in developing countries, and emerging best guidance emanating from studies and field trials. This can include, but is not limited to, interventions to reduce EED among livestock owning households, studies that explore the gut health and nutritional statuses of members of livestock owning households, and genomic analyses that link bacteria in livestock to those seen in the guts of the humans that own them. The landscape analysis will help identify any existing programs addressing EED and livestock in developing countries. This will be accomplished through reviewing work of USAID, our partners, and other donors to determine what work is ongoing that helps to elucidate the comparative positive and negative impacts of livestock ownership. The intern will engage with offices and partners to determine if they have any ongoing EED programming. The final deliverables will be a database of relevant literature and a written report consolidating the findings of the literature review and landscape analysis. If the intern has a desire, they can deliver a virtual presentation synthesizing their findings.		United States		To see some of the work of our partners including the Livestock Systems Innovation Lab, please see this website: https://livestocklab.ifas.ufl.edu Outside of the primary project, the intern will be invited to Food Animal System Team meetings to gain an understanding of the team’s role in providing technical assistance and thought leadership to the field. The intern will also be given the opportunity to contribute to team priorities per their interest and availability as well as gain a broader understanding of the role of USAID in promoting and supporting the global effort to achieve food security for the most vulnerable populations through the U.S. Government’s Feed the Future Initiative. The Food Animal Systems team at RFS is a close knit and diverse group within RFS. The intern will receive mentorship from all team members and gain an understanding of the collaborative nature of USAID. An intern with an interest or background in any of the following areas is ideal: livestock production, animal health, behavior change, hygiene practices, or One Health.	2020-06-09 09:00:41	100		3099

The intern may also prepare for and participate in interviews with partner organizations to help identify priorities, opportunities and gaps.	Agency for International Development	1	USAID-USA-34		Analytical writing, Data analysis, Research	Weather and climate impacts are already undermining progress in reducing poverty and improving economic growth in countries around the world, as well as compromising the effectiveness and resilience of U.S. development assistance. To address this, USAID supports climate change adaptation in developing countries and applies climate risk management (CRM) to USAID development assistance. USAID’s adaptation programming supports countries and communities to build their capacity to independently predict and prepare for climate variability and change so they can effectively deal with associated stresses and minimize losses and disruption. Through CRM, USAID assesses, addresses and adaptively manages climate risks to development programs in all sectors. To maximize impact, USAID climate adaptation and mainstreaming efforts should learn from experience, leverage USAID’s competitive advantage, be informed by and align with the efforts of others, and address global adaptation and development priorities. The intern will support staff in the USAID Office of Global Climate Change (E3/GCC) and the Bureau for Resilience and Food Security, Center for Resilience (RFS/CR) to conduct research and analysis that will inform USAID priorities. This includes review, analysis and summary of relevant: -Scientific and other literature -Development projects and results produced by USAID, other donor organizations, non-governmental organizations and the private sector -Interviews with donors and other organizations -Climate change adaptation priorities and gaps, including mainstreaming The research and analysis may examine one or more of the following topics: -Opportunities for climate change adaptation programming that focuses on urban resilience, addresses migration, engages the private sector, responds to the COVID crisis and/or meets the needs of small island developing states (SIDS). -Approaches to and results of climate change mainstreaming -How climate adaptation and resilience relate and contribute to developing countries’ Journey to Self Reliance, including elucidation of potential capacity and commitment indicators (see Ethiopia Country Roadmap for example of existing indicators) -Identifying essential policies and core institutional capacities needed for countries to be sufficiently self-reliant in adapting successfully to climate change -How best to support climate change adaptation in developing countries with different contexts (e.g. least developed countries (LDCs), emerging markets, fragile or conflict-affected countries) The tasks of the intern will be finalized at the start of the internship based on USAID’s priorities at that time as well as the interests and skills of the intern.

Analytical writing, Graphic design, Research	Topics in Global Food Animal Systems: Antimicrobial Resistance	Support the Food Animal Systems Team in the Bureau for Resilience and Food Security (RFS) at USAID by performing a literature review and landscape analysis on the linkages between food animal production systems and antimicrobial resistance using a One Health approach.	Agency for International Development	1	USAID-USA-35		Analytical writing, Graphic design, Research	The newly formed bureau for Resilience and Food Security (RFS) houses four technical centers including the Center for Agriculture, Center for Water, Center for Nutrition, and the Center for Resilience. Livestock is a cross-cutting topic for the bureau as livestock can contribute to agricultural production, nutritious diets, and resilient populations. The Livestock Team within RFS is comprised of livestock experts representing various equities in the bureau including agriculture, nutrition, and resilience. This close-knit team collaborates often to provide technical assistance to Missions, assist with livestock program design, and elevate the importance of livestock within the bureau. This team is seeking an intern with an interest in livestock and international development to perform a literature review and landscape analysis on the use of antimicrobials in livestock production in developing countries and what role this might play in contributing to antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The use of antimicrobials in livestock in developing countries is very different than the US as strict regulations like FDA's Veterinary Feed Directive may not be present. Producers may be able to access and administer antimicrobials without diagnostics or recommendations from an animal health worker. The aim of this project is to perform a literature review and generate a report on the state of antimicrobial use and antimicrobial resistance in developing countries. This can include, but is not limited to, regulations on antimicrobial acquisition and administration, residue limits or levels in meat products, residue testing or levels in the water supply, incidence and prevalence of AMR pathogens in livestock and humans, or other related AMR measures for which scientific literature is available. The second part of this project is a landscape analysis to determine what, if any, programs already exist to address the topic of AMR in developing countries. This will be accomplished through reviewing work of both USAID, our implementing partners, or other donors to determine what work is already ongoing. The intern will also reach out to and engage with our offices located in the field (or USAID Missions) to determine if they have any ongoing programming related to AMR. The final deliverable for this internship will be a written report consolidating the findings of the literature review and landscape analysis. If the intern has a desire, they can deliver a virtual presentation to the bureau synthesizing their findings. Outside of the project, the intern will have the opportunity to attend weekly Livestock Team meetings and will gain an understanding of our role in providing technical assistance to Missions by attending meetings we have with our partners in the field. The intern will also gain a broader understanding of the role of USAID and our bureau in promoting and supporting the global effort to achieve food security in the most vulnerable populations.		United States		To see some of the work of our partners including the Livestock Systems Innovation Lab, please see this website: https://livestocklab.ifas.ufl.edu The Livestock team at RFS is a close knit and diverse group within RFS. The intern will receive mentorship from all team members and gain an understanding of the collaborate nature of USAID. An intern with an interest or background in any of the following areas is ideal: livestock production, animal health, antimicrobial resistance, or One Health.	2020-06-08 10:39:14	100		3043

Analytical writing, Data analysis, Design thinking, Economic analysis, Software development	The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: Exploring Emerging Tech in International Development	Help USAID explore the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of emerging technologies in international development.	Agency for International Development	1	USAID-USA-59		Analytical writing, Data analysis, Design thinking, Economic analysis, Software development	Emerging trends in technology like the gig economy and tech-based approaches like artificial intelligence, machine learning, blockchain, 3D printing, and the Internet of Things present great promise for introducing high-impact innovations in developing country contexts. But often these types of technological innovations present as many challenges as they do benefits when it comes to leveraging them for equitable, inclusive development gains. This project will consist of activities that allow the U.S. Agency for International Development to better understand both the promise of new tech as well as the pitfalls that we need to be cautious about when these innovations impact international development. This project will strive to cover a range of types (2-3) of emerging technology, key tech trends, or novel approaches to applying existing technology. The expectation will be to consider both the technical underpinnings of a new technology or tech trend, as well as the social and/or economic impacts of integrating these new approaches into developing country contexts. Activities that may be part of this project: * Researching innovations and trends in emerging technology to better understand potential benefits and disruptions in the field of international development; * Landscaping current use of emerging tech in developing economies, working to document types of applications that are being integrated across sectors and geographies; * Gathering/synthesizing information about documented and/or potential concerns around integration of this / these emerging tech applications in developing country contexts; * Carrying out quantitative and/or qualitative analysis on impacts of emerging tech in low- and low-middle-income countries. The team you'll be supporting -- the Strategy & Research team in the Center for Digital Development of the U.S. Global Development Lab -- has carried out significant research on artificial intelligence, machine learning, and digital identity. We'd like to further our exploration of these fields as well as consider 3-4 additional types of emerging technology (e.g., Internet of Things, 3-D Printing, Drones) or novel applications of digital tech. Which technologies, trends, or tech approaches you work on can be jointly determined, guided by team needs and VSFS intern interests. Depth vs breadth can be jointly determined as well; for example, you might study 1 significant tech trend or type emergent tech in great depth (e.g., studying multiple aspects of the Future of Work/gig economy) or you could cover multiple different technologies or emerging tech-based approaches (e.g., 3D printing, machine learning, and applications of differential privacy) in developing economies. This will be an exciting project that can cover a number of cutting-edge research topics and should lead to concrete outputs that will boost your career and your understanding of the field of international development!

To address this, USAID is implementing climate risk management (CRM): the practice of assessing, addressing and adaptively managing climate risks to development activities. An important aspect of CRM is the assessment of current and future climate risks and opportunities at various points during USAID’s program cycle. As climate risk management is implemented, it is important to learn from the process and results so that improvements can be made. Likewise, it is important to stay abreast of new developments and innovative practices in climate risk management and risk management more generally, from theory to practice.

Agency for International Development	2	USAID-LBR-2		Analytical writing, Data analysis, Data visualization, Editing and proofreading, Research	USAID/Liberia is at its early stage of implementing its 5-year Country Development Cooperation Strategy (CDCS) that would support Liberians' efforts to continue to consolidate its democratic gains and rebuild its war-torn and Ebola-effected economy. Since the end of the Liberian Civil War in 2003, the country has held three national elections generally perceived as free and fair. It has also taken on the difficult task of rebuilding its economy, and strengthening its educational and health care delivery systems. The 2014-2015 Ebola Virus Disease outbreak drained the Government of vitally needed resources, slowed economic growth, and delayed key development projects. The response measures to COVID-19 has severely affected the economy and the daily lives, especially those in lower socio-economic status. The worldwide response led by the United States helped bring the worst of the outbreaks under control. Our work helps build confidence in public governance, brings reforms to key institutions and fosters measurable improvements in the lives of average Liberians. You will conduct desk research using appropriate resources (e.g. academic papers, indices, local and international news stories, blogs, social media, virtual/phone interviews when appropriate) on a wide range of topics to create matrices, databases, reports, infographics, briefing memos, and/or presentations to help the Mission leadership make project and strategic program decisions. USAID/Liberia has a wide range of programs across multiple sectors and strive to achieve results under several important USG and Agency initiatives including the President’s Malaria Initiative, the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, and the Young African Leaders Initiative. Programming also contributes to the Administration’s Africa Strategy, which promotes prosperity in Africa and advancing American influence and prosperity abroad.

Agency for International Development	1	USAID-USA-23		Analytical writing, Cultural diplomacy, Data analysis, Research	The Office of Local Sustainability, within USAID’s Bureau for Economic Growth, Education and Environment (E3/LS), supports locally led development and enhances USAID’s ability to empower local actors to take the lead in solving their own development challenges. In the first four years of its flagship Local Works program, 24 Missions have been provided with knowledge, skills, tools, and resources to ensure that development assistance is locally led and advances self-reliance. As the reach of the program expands towards increasingly sensitive operating environments, further analysis is necessary to identify lessons learned across the Agency while building local ownership in conflict-affected contexts, and to refine conflict-sensitive approaches to engaging local actors as leaders in development. E3/LS seeks an intern to assist in better understanding risks and opportunities inherent in promoting locally led development in conflict and post-conflict environments. After initial desk review synthesizing current literature exploring the humanitarian, development, and peace nexus, the intern will develop a research plan in collaboration with E3/LS, and will be connected with Missions and Operating Units across the Agency as appropriate, in order to gather and assess key evidence, good practices, relevant approaches, and promising programming options. Inquiries to potentially explore within the research scope include, but are not limited to: -What are the key challenges associated with promoting locally led development in conflict and post-conflict settings, and what has been effective in addressing these challenges? -What are key opportunities for locally led development to contribute to elevate the agency of local actors, strengthen resilience, and work towards systemic change in contexts with weak state systems and governance? -What has been learned about how approaches to engaging local actors should be adapted to ensure conflict-sensitive, trauma-sensitive, and do no harm principles are fully integrated at all stages of activities? -How can locally led development approaches be responsive to reducing risk, vulnerability, and drivers of conflict? In addition to contributing important analysis and recommendations towards future locally led development programming in conflict-affected areas, the intern will benefit from mentoring and networking opportunities and immersive learning about the work done by USAID, particularly approaches to promoting local sustainability.

Youth populations are growing at a rapid pace in developing countries: between now and 2030, 440 million young Africans will enter the labor market. At the same time, food systems are under heavy pressure. By 2050, the world will need 50 percent more food to feed a population of over 9.7 billion. Youth are essential partners on the journey to self-reliance. This journey is long, and young people must get involved as early as possible to help build the structural and agricultural transformations needed to move beyond foreign assistance. Young people are also critical to global stability, economic growth and development today and into the future. Youth empowerment and livelihoods are critical to achieving each of the GFSS objectives: 1) inclusive and sustainable agriculture-led growth, 2) strengthened resilience among people and systems, and 3) a well-nourished population, especially among women and children. Interns involved in this project will support the work of the USAID/RFS in strengthening youth contributions to inclusive development, also in line with the USAID Youth in Development Policy the Agency’s Positive Youth Development approach. Intern/s will: • Conduct trend analyses, including within the context of COVID-19, desert locust infestations and other emerging threats, of key youth development indicators based on data available for USAID RFS priority countries. • Update RFS information on the landscape of activities undertaken to engage youth in Feed the Future and other programming. • Prepare research and issue briefs on topics related to youth and food systems, with a focus on agriculture-led growth (including systems approaches), resilience, nutrition and water security, sanitation and hygiene. • Research and write brief stories describing program approaches and impact, capturing in particular the voices and experiences of young people in collaboration with points of contact in USAID country missions. • Conduct literature reviews on relevant topics such as youth-focused market systems change approaches to agriculture-led growth and youth and water security. • Suggest assignments based on interns’ own areas of interest and expertise as relevant to RFS inclusive development objectives.		United States		Up to three interns will work on this project. Internships are the most successful when they involve not only the completion of a set of tasks outlined by the requesting agency but when they also offer opportunities for interns to propose ideas in line with their unique interests.

Develop a universal and replicable approach to analyzing FDI, evaluate FDI flows, and produce a detailed report on the status of FDI to support USAID's understanding of investment trends in	Agency for International Development	1	USAID-VNM-3	Vietnamese-STD	Analytical writing, Data analysis, Economic analysis, Research	According to official statistics, the United States ranks 8th in terms of total number of FDI projects and 11th in terms of total amount of FDI into Vietnam, trailing behind South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. However, these bilateral statistics show only the direct investment links to a destination, i.e. where the FDI source is registered and does not reflect the fact that investment flows are channelled through special purpose vehicles and offshore financial centres. Studies have shown that 30–50% of investment has been channelled through these conduits, leading the International Monetary Fund to coin this phenomenon as “phantom FDI.” For Vietnam, official data shows a significant level of investment from off-shore jurisdictions frequently used for corporate formation, and as a tax/liability shelter. The OECD issued a Revised Benchmark Definition of Foreign Direct Investment in 2008, which recommended that countries compile inward investment positions according to the “ultimate investing country (UIC)” to identify the country of the investor that ultimately controls the investments in their country. The OECD only started collecting FDI information based on this revised definition in 2014. Currently, only 14 OECD countries are reporting FDI stock by ultimate investors. As Vietnam joins the ranks of lower middle income countries, and becomes more integrated into global value chains, the country could benefit from a more strategic approach to attracting foreign investment. A more representative methodology for calculating FDI would help Vietnam thoughtfully engage with foreign investors and assist USAID with supporting Vietnam's development objectives. The VSFS intern will support USAID/Vietnam Mission staff to conduct research and analysis that will inform USAID's engagement and technical assistance related to private sector engagement. This VSFS intern will work collaboratively with USAID/Vietnam staff to: Define the research and analytical methodology; Verify that the methodology is replicable and universally applicable; Update the ranking of FDI sources into Vietnam using the methodology; Ground truth the methodology using external sources; and Develop a detailed report to share within the USG.	HANOI	Vietnam		The ideal candidate will have education or experience in international development, macro economics and/or international finance. The tasks of the selected VSFS intern will be finalized at the start of the internship based on USAID’s priorities at that time as well as the interests and skills of the intern. Depending on the intern’s skills and interest the following could also be included in the internship: - Developing a regional investment flow analysis; - Trends analysis and projections; and - Analysis of key investment climate issues.	2020-06-23 08:37:28	100	USAID	3424

Agency for International Development	2	USAID-LBR-1		Data visualization, GIS expertise, Graphic design, Social media management, Videography, Infographic design	USAID/Liberia is at its early stage of implementing its 5-year Country Development Cooperation Strategy (CDCS) that would support Liberians' efforts to continue to consolidate its democratic gains and rebuild its war-torn and Ebola-effected economy. Since the end of the Liberian Civil War in 2003, the country has held three national elections generally perceived as free and fair. It has also taken on the difficult task of rebuilding its economy, and strengthening its educational and health care delivery systems. The 2014-2015 Ebola Virus Disease outbreak drained the Government of vitally needed resources, slowed economic growth, and delayed key development projects. The response measures to COVID-19 has severely affected the economy and the daily lives, especially those in lower socio-economic status. The worldwide response led by the United States helped bring the worst of the outbreaks under control. Our work helps build confidence in public governance, brings reforms to key institutions and fosters measurable improvements in the lives of average Liberians. You will help shape the visuals for a wide range of materials - both electronic and printed - such as matrices, maps, reports, infographics, briefing memos, posters, presentations, and other materials to effectively: 1) help the Mission leadership make project and strategic program decisions; 2) reach the Liberian and American public; 3) convey the information to selected audience during speeches, meetings, and presentations. The intern must be able to comfortably use GIS databases to create new map layers and generate useful maps that can be manipulated and incorporated into the materials. USAID/Liberia has a wide range of programs across multiple sectors and strive to achieve results under several important USG and Agency initiatives including the President’s Malaria Initiative, the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, and the Young African Leaders Initiative. Programming also contributes to the Administration’s Africa Strategy, which promotes prosperity in Africa and advancing American influence and prosperity abroad. In 2019, the Mission prioritized interventions in maternal and child health, reproductive health, water and sanitation, agriculture, construction, sustainable natural resource management, biodiversity protection, education, youth development, governance, and independent media.

This will be a year-long research project which could be used as a foundation for an undergraduate or graduate thesis.	Agency for International Development	1	USAID-USA-11	Arabic, French , Spanish	Analytical writing, Data analysis, Data visualization, Editing and proofreading, Research, Writing	USAID is looking to expand its research on effective youth civic education, civic engagement, and leadership development- especially how it can be leveraged in relation to the secondary shocks from the current COVID crisis. This understanding is particularly critical for marginalized groups of young people and how youth relate to state relations and social movements. The purpose of this desk study is to develop a written, professional report and digital presentation of promising practices and evidence on what works in improving youth civic engagement, civic education, and leadership development globally. The overarching theme is identifying best practices of these types of activities which support USAID's positive youth development (PYD) methodology and approach. The study will also provide recommendations on how to increase the effectiveness, scale, and sustainability of these type of programs. The results from this desk review will be used to develop research and programming briefs which will serve as a resource for policymakers and practitioners interested in evidence-based best practices and examples of youth civic and political engagement.		United States		Interns in bachelors and graduate programs are welcome, including those in a field of study related to topics of interest to USAID or with an interest in such topics.

Agency for International Development	3	USAID-USA-12	French , Haitian Creole , Portuguese , Spanish	Data analysis, Data visualization, Editing and proofreading, Research, Infographic design, Writing	USAID is committed to accountability, transparency, and evidence-based management for all our programs in the Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) region. The LAC Bureau supports use of innovative monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) systems, methods, technologies, and tools that generate the quality data and robust evidence needed to maximize results of a wide range of programs. To that end, the LAC Bureau seeks 1-3 virtual student interns, representing a variety of social science backgrounds, to support various MEL efforts in the coming year. Illustrative examples include: - Researching and analyzing third-party sources of data for use in strategic planning and context monitoring - Synthesizing USAID evaluations and drafting “learning briefs” - Identifying and synthesizing other donors’ evaluations and assessments on specific topics, such as private sector engagement or enhancing country capacity		United States		To complement program performance data, USAID uses regional and national development data supplied by international organizations, national governments, and independent third-party organizations to inform strategic planning and monitor regional and national contexts that affect ongoing programs. In 2018, USAID launched Journey to Self-Reliance Country Roadmaps, which help the Agency and our partners understand how self-reliant each of our partner countries is overall – as well as each country’s self-reliance strengths and challenges – and tailor partnerships accordingly (For more information, go to https://selfreliance.usaid.gov/ ). Together, these data help us ensure USAID programs continue to be a strategic and effective use of taxpayer funds. USAID also commissions external, independent evaluations (performance and impact) of individual programs, or groups of programs. External, independent evaluations commissioned by USAID are published on USAID’s DEC website (see https://dec.usaid.gov/dec/content/evaluations.aspx ). In addition, studies and assessments—which focus on broader, often cross-cutting, themes or technical sectors—also help the LAC Bureau and field missions to synthesize and analyze data and evidence generated by USAID and our development partners.	2020-06-04 11:50:04	100		2964

Agency for International Development	3	USAID-USA-16		Analytical writing, Research	Project description (3000) characters: The Evidence for Democratic Transitiins project seeks to provide the Office of Transition Initiatives (OTI) with the latest research and evidence on issues related to its work. Illustrative research questions include: What types of interventions are most effective in promoting democratic transitions and under what conditions? How do you build resilience to extremist violence in vulnerable communities? How does disinformation spread in semi-literate communities and how can it best be addressed? How does foreign influence affect the countries we are working in and the consequences for our programming? How has COVID-19 changed the types of interventions possible, who the target populations are, and how they should be implemented to prevent democratic backsliding and democratic processes? Interns will consider academic peer-reviewed literature as well as gray literature from NGOs, think-tanks, and other sources as well as internal evidence collected over 25 year of OTI programming. This project will contribute to OTI’s learning agenda and interns will share their work out with the office for review and commentary, giving them the opportunity to learn from the vast experience of OTI staff. The project will also provide ad hoc research support to country programs working on transitions around the world and contribute to the office research digest. OTI supports U.S. foreign policy objectives by helping local partners advance peace and democracy. OTI provides fast, flexible, short-term assistance targeted at key political transition and stabilization needs. Strategically designed for each unique situation, OTI has laid the foundation for long-term development by promoting reconciliation, jumpstarting local economies, supporting emerging independent media, and fostering peace and democracy through innovative programming. In countries transitioning from authoritarianism to democracy, from violence to peace, or following a fragile peace, OTI’s programs serve as catalysts for positive political change.
