Context
The World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH – founded as OIE) is a leading intergovernmental organisation representing 183 Members worldwide. Through its activities, WOAH makes a decisive contribution to improving animal health, protecting animal welfare and strengthening Veterinary Services. The Organisation provides transparent information on world’s animal health situation, and promotes international standards, particularly in terms of the safety of trade in live animals and animal products. 

Job purpose: Master thesis project
The purpose of this internship is to support the consolidation, analysis and interpretation of existing GEDSI-related quantitative and qualitative data to generate evidence supporting inclusive policies, programmes and decision-making across WOAH.. The intern will contribute to integrating quantitative and qualitative information from multiple sources to better understand GEDSI dimensions affecting WOAH stakeholders, programmes and Member-level systems. The internship will involve data harmonisation, statistical analysis, desk-based research and interpretation of findings through a GEDSI and intersectional lens, considering where relevant the interactions between gender, disability and other diversity characteristics.. The intern will also contribute to identifying data gaps, analysing available veterinary workforce data and formulating evidence-based recommendations to support GEDSI mainstreaming across WOAH activities and future strategic initiatives.   The intern will be strongly encouraged to participate in WOAH’s internal GEDSI groups, including the Gender and Inclusion Task force meetings and events, and the Disability and Health Equity group.
