Overview
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) is funded almost entirely by voluntary contributions from UN Member States. UNRWA also receives some funding from the Regular Budget of the United Nations, which is used mostly for international staffing costs. A limited number of unpaid internships are offered in the Agency’s offices in Amman, Beirut, and Jerusalem, and at the Representative Office New York and Representative Office to the EU in Brussels. A limited number of unpaid internships are also offered each year in the Agency’s Headquarters in Amman, Jordan.
Details
Unpaid internship opportunities are also open at the Representative Office New York and Representative Office to the EU in Brussels, for a minimum of three months and a maximum of six.
The positions are available preferably on full-time basis, and may be renewed subject to requirements of the office. Interns will contribute to UNRWA's inter-agency, non-governmental and donor liaison tasks, as well as public information work, and provide other support as needed.
The internships provide a valuable opportunity to familiarise yourself with substantive humanitarian and development policy issues and the UN system.
