3 Internships at UNDP

Within the UN system, UNDP is playing a lead role in the process of defining the post-2015 agenda as an advocate for a bottom up approach defined by national, thematic and global consultations. More information on the post-2015 agenda and UNDP’s work can be found on worldwewant2015.org

The interns should be enrolled in a graduate-level degree programme in international relations or related field, with a focus on development studies. They will provide substantive and administrative support to the work of the UNDP’s Strategic Policy and Global Positioning Team, which aims to build and lead a strategic coalition of partners that can shape the post-2015 development agenda through global mobilisation and engagement and exploratory research on the use of data for enhanced development delivery.
