The TeamExemplars in Global Health (EGH) is a global initiative that helps public health decision-makers learn from successful “positive outliers.” EGH identifies countries that have achieved exceptional progress in health outcomes, analyzes the drivers behind their success, and shares insights to inform strategic decisions, policymaking, and funding allocation. EGH operates through two primary verticals:
Research & Content (R&C): In-depth research across global health topics.
Partnerships & Insights (P&I): Translating research into policy impact by engaging stakeholders, strengthening partnerships, and disseminating findings.
Through a global network of partners, EGH’s research covers maternal, newborn, and child health; epidemic preparedness and response; health systems strengthening; women’s health, health equity, and nutrition; and climate-resilient health systems. Originally incubated at Gates Ventures, EGH transitioned to the Gates Foundation in July 2025.
This role will also support the newly created Center of Excellence (COE) for Primary Healthcare within the Exemplars team, which leverages technical expertise in foundational health systems reforms, stakeholder partnerships, and service delivery innovation to drive an investment portfolio focused on insight generation and development/uptake of public goods to improve access, quality, and efficiency in primary healthcare. The COE will also provide technical assistance internally to other foundation teams to support health systems-related investments and priorities.
