POLICY CASE COMPETITION The 22 global health fellows will be divided into teams to work on a specific policy challenge related to the upcoming pilots of the RTS,S malaria vaccine. You will meet up in your teams during the first half of the internship to develop your policy solution. You are encouraged to consult with technical experts in vaccines and malaria at WHO (in your team, at least one fellow will be interning in the WHO Department of Immunization, Vaccines and Biologicals). Each team will give a presentation to a panel of experts from the Global Fund, GAVI, and UNITAID—these three organizations are, for the very first time, working closely together on financing the country pilots. Further details to follow. Suggested background readings
