Brief Description:
All students can participate in
the UNFPA Internship Program, which allows them to obtain hands-on experience
with UNFPA activities. Its goal is to provide hands-on experience in diverse
UNFPA programmes to augment development-oriented studies.
Applicants should have expressed
an interest in development as well as the ability to adapt to new conditions
and interact with people from different cultural backgrounds. Interns work in
small groups where they are encouraged and held accountable. They will also be
supervised by a UNFPA employee who has been assigned to them. The backgrounds
of the interns are matched to the needs of the business.
