- 2. GHFP-II, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) serves a higher public purpose by fostering a diverse cadre of technically excellent, compassionate leaders. Using a life-cycle approach, GHFP-II focuses on the career pipeline to ensure the next generation is well prepared to enter the global health workforce and succeed in long-term careers. As new health challenges emerge and complex global initiatives are created to meet them, the ability to respond effectively is crucial. Through partnership with GHC, GHFP-II has facilitated programmatic and financial support for 22 GHC Fellows. In 2016, more than 70% of GHC Fellows were minorities, and most continue in global health career paths. GHC Fellows visit Butaro Hospital in Rwanda with the MASS Design Group. Highly committed, diverse Fellows receive support from GHFP-II to work overseas.
