applications for their 2017 Internship Programme. The UNFPA Internship Program
offers a small group of outstanding students the opportunity to acquire direct
exposure to UNFPA operations. It is designed to complement development-oriented
studies with practical experience in various aspects of UNFPA work.
Applicants should have expressed interest in the field of
development; ability to adapt to new environments and work with individuals
from different cultural backgrounds. Interns work under the supervision of a
staff member at UNFPA. The background of the interns is matched with the needs
of the organization.

competitive basis. The profiles of the interns are matched with the needs of
the organization. The following qualifications are required for consideration:
Students should be enrolled in an advanced degree programme
or have recently graduated;
Students must have written and spoken proficiency in English;
fluency in French, Spanish or Arabic is an asset.
Cost/Value:
Interns do not receive a salary or any other form of
remuneration from UNFPA.
The costs associated with an intern’s participation in the
programme must be assumed either by the nominating institution, which may
provide the required financial assistance to its students, or by the students
themselves, who will have to meet living expenses as well as make their own
arrangements for accommodation, travel and other requirements.

of the internship.
Proof of insurance will need to be submitted before the
