About

The objectives of the Internship Programme are to promote among the participants a better understanding of the United Nations and of the World Food Programme.  Internships provide Divisions at Headquarters or Country Offices with the assistance of outstanding young students specializing in fields relevant to WFP activities.

WFP places CV of eligible intern applicants on the Internship Roster via the WFP intranet for hiring mangers’ review.  After receiving acknowledgment of receipt of a qualified CV, you will be contacted only if a hiring manager is interested in inviting you.

WFP will cover interns for medical insurance and provide a stipend of USD200-USD700.  Expenses due to travel, living maintenance, and medical evacuation if required are not covered by WFP.

The following criteria are used to determine eligibility for the Internship Programme:

• Applicants must be currently enrolled in a university or graduate school and have completed at least two years of undergraduate studies.
• Spouses, sons, daughters, brothers or sisters of staff members will not be considered eligible for this Programme.
