    “Real, meaningful change in communities doesn’t happen from the top down, it happens from the ground up. It happens when you build on the strengths that already exist in those communities. It happens when you empower the leaders that are already there, and then they go on to empower others.” - First Lady Michelle Obama, at a Peace Corps training event, in Siem Reap, Cambodia, March 21, 2015 “The& relationships of trust that Volunteers build with their communities are the driving force behind Peace Corps’ impact. Their presence among the people they serve is what gives our Volunteers the understanding of the local context and the credibility to become catalysts of community-led change.

    The Peace Corps' Contributions to the Global Smallpox Eradication Program

    The Peace Corps’ Contributions to the Global Smallpox Eradication Program About the Office of Strategic Information, Research, and Planning (OSIRP) It is the mission of OSIRP to advance evidence-based management at the Peace Corps by guiding agency strategic planning; monitoring and evaluating agency-level performance and programs; conducting research to generate new insights in the fields of international development, cultural exchange, and Volunteer service; enhancing the stewardship and governance of agency data; and helping to shape agency engagement on high-level, governmentwide initiatives. Front Cover: Peace Corps Volunteers Robert Steinglass and Doug Arbuckle administering the smallpox vaccine in Mille, Ethiopia, in 1974. Photo: Steinglass, personal collection. ii Dedication This report is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Donald Ainslie “D. A.” Henderson (September 7, 1928—August 19, 2016), a seminal figure in the field of smallpox eradication. The Peace Corps is deeply appreciative of having had the opportunity to correspond with Dr. Henderson about the contributions of Peace Corps Volunteers and returned Volunteers within the context of the global eradication program. His charismatic leadership, tireless energy, and unflagging devotion to this program inspired countless public health workers around the world, including many of the returned Peace Corps Volunteers interviewed for this report. iii Acknowledgments In 1806, approximately 10 years after Dr. Edward Jenner conducted the first documented experiment with smallpox vaccination, laying the foundations of modern medicine, President Thomas Jefferson wrote to the English physician and scientist. Jefferson acknowledged the importance of this discovery, extending “a portion of the tribute of gratitude due to you from the whole human family.
