Funded by the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation, the Delivering Innovation in Self-Care project (DISC), supports PSI’s vision to reimagine healthcare by increasing awareness, availability, and access to contraceptive self-care methods like self-injection that give women greater power and control over their sexual and reproductive health. In partnership with Ministries of Health, healthcare provider networks, and other key stakeholders, DISC is integrating self-care methods into health systems, bringing care closer to consumers, and amplifying their voice, choice, and agency. The DISC project has entered an exciting new phase which will involve scaling the DISC high impact practices through partnerships in existing countries as well as expanding into new countries.

The DISC Projects Dashboards Team seeks a Intern that will learn about what it’s like to work for PSI, build relationships, and gain valuable real-world experience by performing a variety of analytic and visualization tasks that support the development of high-quality dashboards.

• Build your network: Develop relationships with PSIers on the DISC and Digital Health Management teams and across the organization.
