Job description

The World Bank's Health, Nutrition and Population Global Practice supports countries in achieving universal health coverage, strengthening health systems, and improving health outcomes through better use of public resources, stronger pooling arrangements, strategic purchasing, private-sector engagement, and performance-oriented approaches.

As countries face increasing fiscal constraints while striving to expand access to quality health services, there is growing demand for analytical work on mechanisms that can mobilize additional resources, strengthen incentives for performance, share risks across stakeholders, and improve the efficiency and sustainability of health spending. The Health Financing team supports global knowledge generation, operational engagements, technical assistance, and policy dialogue related to these issues across low-, middle-, and high-income countries.

The intern will contribute to analytical and operational work examining how governments, multilateral development banks, development partners, foundations, insurers, institutional investors, and private-sector actors can support health sector objectives through results-driven funding arrangements, risk-sharing structures, guarantee mechanisms, sustainability-linked approaches, pooled financing platforms, and other resource mobilization instruments. 

Duties and Responsibilities

The intern could support ongoing analytical, operational, and knowledge activities. Responsibilities may include, with exact responsibilities to be determined later:
  • Conducting literature reviews and evidence syntheses on one or more financing instruments such as outcome-linked funding arrangements, guarantee structures, pooled financing platforms, insurance-related mechanisms, sustainability-linked instruments, blended public-private approaches, and other approaches used to support health sector objectives including from World Bank, IFC, MIGA, development partner, foundation, and academic materials to identify lessons from global experience, applied to health.
  • Developing country case studies and comparative databases documenting experiences for the financing instruments of past cases for health and the use of cases in other sectors for the health sector.
  • Contributing to background notes, policy briefs, technical reports, management presentations, and knowledge products.
  • Preparing presentations, briefing materials, and synthesis products and other knowledge-sharing products and activities such as consultations and webinars.
  • Identifying opportunities to strengthen financial sustainability, improve incentives for results, and leverage additional resources within health sector programs.
