Our Vision and our Work
Program Result Areas
GHFP-II has expanded on the successes of GHFP-I with a wider range of talent and placement sites; engagement with a broad network of universities, related organizations and social media sites; and innovative systems for recruitment, onboarding, operational support and monitoring. These innovations open the door to efficient, flexible and service-oriented support to program participants and USAID throughout the GHFP-II experience.
Expanding non-traditional experiences
Utilizing an integrated approach to diversity across all activities, GHFP-II is committed to encouraging GH career exposure for entry and mid-career professionals and retention of USAID’s Foreign Service National staff. By bringing new partners to USAID—through private sector short-term fellowships –GHFP-II brings fresh skills and fresh perspectives to the work as it deepens and widens the GH professional pipeline.
Integrating performance oriented professional development
Defining desired learning coupled with a tailored professional development approach is an important part of the GHFP-II experience for fellows. Developed in concert with USAID, there are common expectations for the fellows’ professional development, plus a customized plan for each fellow. A range of learning options are available, including regional and web-based learning for overseas fellows.
