Apply: WHO Global Malaria Programme 2019 Call for Experts

The WHO Global Malaria Programme is currently issuing a “Call for experts” to serve as members of the newly formed GDG.

Application Deadline: 30th April 2019.

Eligible Countries: International

About the Award: In 2018, the WHO Global Malaria Programme initiated an extensive review of WHO’s processes for developing and disseminating policy guidance on malaria. Our overall objective is to deliver timely, high quality guidance to malaria-endemic countries through processes that are more transparent, consistent, efficient and predictable.

Following the recommendations of the review, the Global Malaria Programme will convene a single Guidelines Development Group (GDG) to ensure consistency in process and development of all malaria recommendations. Ad hoc Evidence Review Groups (ERGs) may be convened to support the GDG on specialized topics. These changes to the structure of Global Malaria Programme’s advisory bodies have been designed to streamline and standardize our evidence review processes for malaria control and elimination.

Type: Job

Eligibility: Applications from the following groups are welcome, noting that this is not an exhaustive list:

• malaria experts in all technical areas;
• national malaria control programme managers;
• representatives of groups most affected by malaria, such as service users and representatives of disadvantaged groups;
