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. Our work is derived from the ICPD Programme of Action; that all human beings are entitled to equal rights and protections and no one should be left behind in the fulfilment of their fundamental human rights. In a world where fundamental human rights are at risk, we need principled and ethical leaders, who embody these international norms and standards, and who will defend them courageously and with full conviction. UNFPA’s strategic plan (2018-2021) focuses on three transformative results: to end preventable maternal deaths; end unmet need for family planning; and end gender-based violence and harmful practices.

UNFPA is seeking candidates that transform, inspire and deliver high impact and sustained results. We seek interns who commit to deliver excellence in programme results. Job Purpose: The intern will provide remote support to an integrated area of UNFPA’s humanitarian work and a growing global area: Mental Health and Psychosocial Support in emergencies for women and girls; as part of UNFPA’s comprehensive gender-based violence (GBV) prevention and response and sexual and reproductive health (SRH) programming. The intern will focus on supporting the development of a structure to support the process of harmonization of the integration on the MHPSS into Gender Based Violence (GBV) and Sexual Reproductive health (SRH) in emergencies programmes based on the newly UNFPA internal policy on MHPSS integration into GBV and SRH.
