Internship Program in UNWOMEN

Internship Program in UNWOMEN



The UN Women Internship Programme offers outstanding students the opportunity to acquire direct exposure to UN Women’s work in areas such as strategic partnerships, communications, advocacy, policy, evaluation, human resources, programme planning, research and data, finance, and ICT.
Internship assignments vary greatly in terms of content but are all designed to provide interns with a valuable learning experience. They may have a country-specific, regional, sectoral, or thematic focus. Most interns support the design, implementation and evaluation of UN Women projects and will learn about the work of gender and humanitarian action in an international environment.
Internships are offered depending on the availability of meaningful assignments and the needs and capacity of units/offices to receive and supervise interns.

Eligibility requirements

  • You must be enrolled in a master’s, post-master’s, or doctorate programme, or be in the final year of a first university degree programme (bachelor’s level or equivalent); or

  • You must be enrolled in a national service obligation programme of which the internship may form a part; or

Financial aspects
