Description
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.
Eligibilities
Candidates for the internship program are selected on a 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 program or have graduated within the last 12 months;
• Students must have written and spoken proficiency in English; fluency in French, Spanish or Arabic is an asset
Benefits
The costs associated with an intern’s participation in the programme must be assumed either by the students themselves or by the nominating institution, which may provide the required financial assistance to its students. Students will have to meet living expenses as well as make their own arrangements for accommodation, travel and other requirements. In addition, applicants must have medical insurance for the duration of the internship. Proof of insurance will need to be submitted before the internship begins.
Interns are not financially remunerated by UNFPA for their work but may receive a stipend to help cover basic daily expenses related to the internship, when not financially supported by any institution or program, such as a university, government, foundation, or scholarship program.

Application Process
How do to know that the application has been received?
After you submit your application, the system will automatically send a confirmation of receipt to the email address you have entered in your candidate profile. If you do not enter a valid email address, the system will not be able to confirm receipt of your application. Be aware of spam filters that might block or re-route the confirmation email. You may also check that your application status says ‘Applied’ on the My Applications page at any time.
How long does the selection process last?
The selection process normally lasts between 2 to 6 months.
Will the candidate be informed about the status of his application?
For applications made via the e-Recruitment system, the system will acknowledge safe receipt of your application. Only candidates who are short-listed will subsequently be contacted (normally 4 to 6 weeks after the closing date of the vacancy announcement). Due to the large volume of applications received, UNFPA regrets it is unable to contact all other applicants personally. You can determine the status of your application at any time by logging into the e-Recruit system and navigating to the ‘My Applications’ page. In the grid on the ‘My Applications’ page you will notice ‘Recruiting Status’ and ‘Application Status’ fields next to each job opening for which you have started an application, as follows:
Recruiting Status – The recruiting status lets you know where we are in the recruiting process.
Open – The system is still accepting applications to the position. You may submit a new application or edit and re-submit an existing application while the status is ‘Open’.
Closed – The job advertisement deadline has passed. New applications are not being accepted. Changes to existing applications are also not permitted.
Candidates Notified – Candidates have been contacted for interview or additional screening. If you have not been contacted by the recruiting team, then unfortunately you have not been shortlisted for interview.
Filled – Someone has been hired, the position has been filled, or the position is no longer available.
Application Status – The application status tells you the status of your application.
Not Applied – Your application has been started, but it has not been submitted.
Applied – Your application has been submitted. You may edit and re-submit your application up until the closing date of the job opening.
How to find out about the outcome of the recruitment process?
Candidates who participate in the evaluation process (testing or interview) will be notified by UNFPA about whether or not they are finally selected for a position.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
