What
is the UNDP Internship Programme?
The Internship Programme
offers a small group of outstanding graduate-level students
the opportunity to acquire direct exposure to UNDP's work.
It is designed to complement development-oriented studies
with practical experience in various aspects of multilateral
technical cooperation, but also complements other international
studies, including law.
Interns are assigned to either a UNDP country office or the
organization's Headquarters in New York. Assignments vary
greatly in terms of content. They may have a country-specific,
regional, sectoral, or thematic focus. However, interns are
normally involved in some aspect of the design, implementation
and evaluation of UNDP-supported programmes and projects.
Interns with a background in international legal studies are
normally involved in the legal aspects and arrangements governing
UNDP's technical cooperation activities. Every attempt is
made to match the interests of the intern with the needs of
the organization.
Internship assignments
vary in length according to the availability and academic
requirements of the intern, as well as the needs of UNDP.
Assignments are available on a part-time and full-time basis
throughout the year.
