UNDP provides internship opportunities to students (those completing a Master’s or in the last year of their Bachelor’s) and to recent graduates (up to one year post-graduation) who exhibit an interest in the field of development and who share our vision. These practical experiences, whether in UNDP country offices, regional hubs or headquarters in New York, provide a taste of UNDP’s work and community.
UNDP internships may last up to six months. Exceptionally, internships may last nine months when they are being completed for academic credit. They may be completed in-person or remote, as detailed in the vacancy announcement. Interns receive a monthly stipend that varies depending on country of assignment.
