JSI is a US-based public health nonprofit organization dedicated to providing high-quality technical and managerial assistance programs throughout the world. In Ethiopia, JSI has been working to improve health outcomes for more than 30 years, implementing more than 60 projects and working in every region. JSI is currently implementing the Data Use Partnership 2.0 (DUP) Workstream I project, which provides technical assistance to the Ethiopian Ministry of Health (MOH) and Regional Health Bureau s (RHBs). DUP aims to strengthen the national Health Information System (HIS) and the broader digital health ecosystem, focusing on enhancing capacity, fostering a culture of data use, improving digital health systems and services, strengthening governance, and enhanced gender intentionality in HIS/DH.

As Ethiopia’s digital health landscape rapidly expands, there is a critical need to cultivate a new generation of professionals skilled in data science. This internship program is designed to bridge the gap between academic knowledge and practical application in the public health sector. It offers a unique opportunity for a recent graduate to develop cutting-edge data science skills while contributing to meaningful health outcomes. This initiative is part of JSI’s commitment to building local capacity and promoting gender equality within the technology and data sectors in Ethiopia.
