Back HR Intern

Background

UNDP works in about 170 countries and territories, helping to achieve the eradication of poverty, and the reduction of inequalities and exclusion. We help countries to develop policies, leadership skills, partnering abilities, institutional capabilities and build resilience in order to sustain development results.

UNDP is working to strengthen new frameworks for development, disaster risk reduction and climate change. We support countries' efforts to achieve the new Sustainable Development Goals, which will guide global development priorities through 2030. The key 2030 Agenda principle of leaving no one behind and stamping out inequality is at the core of everything we do.

UNDP focuses on helping countries build and share solutions in three main areas:

• Sustainable development
• Democratic governance and peacebuilding
• Climate and disaster resilience

In all our activities, we encourage the protection of human rights and the empowerment of women, minorities and the poorest and most vulnerable.

Stipend

Where an intern is not financially supported by any institution or programme, such as a university,
government, foundation or scholarship programme, a stipend intended to help cover basic daily
expenses related to the internship, such as meals and transportation at the duty station, will be
paid by the office.

The monthly amount of the stipend will be determined for each duty station based on the stipend
rates published yearly by the OHR Policy and Compensation Unit. The stipend will be paid on a
monthly basis and part-time internship arrangements are prorated accordingly.

Where an intern is financially supported by an institution, government or third party, UNDP will,
subject to the rules of such institution, government or third party, pay the intern the difference, if
any, between the external financial support provided and the applicable UNDP stipend.

No other payments of any kind will be made to an intern by the office in connection with an
internship agreement.
