About UNFPA and How You Can Make a Difference:
UNFPA is the lead UN agency for delivering a world where every pregnancy is wanted, every childbirth is safe, and every young person's potential is fulfilled. UNFPA expands choices and possibilities for women and young people to lead healthy and productive lives. UNFPA’s new Strategic Plan (2022-2025) focuses on three main transformative results across the globe: (1) to end preventable maternal deaths; (2) to end unmet need for family planning; and (3) to end gender-based violence and harmful practices.
UNFPA is seeking 12+ strong interns that transform, inspire, and deliver high-impact and sustainable results. We need interns who are exceptional in how they manage the resources entrusted to them and who commit to deliver excellence in programme results.
The Position:
Under the direct supervision of UNFPA staff members in the Division for Human Resources, the 12+ interns will support their team in one (or more) of the following areas:
Diversity & Inclusion
HR Business Partnering
HR Communications & Outreach

HR Knowledge Management
HR Operations & People Strategy
HR Policy
Leadership Development
Learning & Development
Organizational Design & Performance
Talent Management & Career Development
Staff Well-Being
The interns and their respective supervisors will agree upon an actionable work plan that clearly delineates the learning opportunities and achievements to be made during the duration of the internship. Periodic meetings will lead to a beneficial environment for the interns to enhance their skills and knowledge in areas related to UNFPA’s overarching mandates, the Division for Human Resources, and the new People Strategy.
Due to current COVID-19 restrictions (which may change), the interns may partly or fully work from home, working collaboratively with their supervisors by email, Google Workspace, and Zoom.
