Palladium is a global leader in the design, development and delivery of Positive Impact - the intentional creation of enduring social and economic value. We work with foundations, investors, governments, corporations, communities and civil society to formulate strategies and implement solutions that generate lasting social, environmental and financial benefits.

With a team of more than 2,500 employees operating in 90 plus countries and a global network of more than 35,000 technical experts, Palladium has improved - and is committed to continuing to improve - economies, societies and most importantly, people's lives.

Palladium is a child-safe organisation, and screens applicants for suitability to work with children. We also provide equal employment to all participants and employees without regard to race, color, religion, gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, veteran or marital status.
Project Overview and Role
USAID and The Palladium Group are collaborating to offer two USAID Legacy Fellowships in memory of our beloved friend and colleague Anita Datar, who was tragically killed while on duty in Mali in November 2015. Ms. Datar had devoted much of the past 10 years pursuing global public health, particularly family planning and HIV prevention and response.

The unpaid 10-week fellowship is designed to provide fellows with practical and professional experiences in fields related to the work of USAID in one of its global offices. The Palladium Group will pay for transportation to and from the fellowship location. Palladium staff will also act as advisors to the fellows and contribute to program guidance. Content and location of the fellowships will be determined by USAID following selection of the fellows.
 
Responsibilities
Responsibilities will be determined by USAID after selection of fellows.
