Job Purpose

This internship offers practical experience to a student or recent graduate in the field of social policies, particularly public finance for children. UNICEF's Programme offers students and recent graduates from academic backgrounds the opportunity to enhance their capacity through a professional work environment and supervision. UNICEF interns benefit from experiential learning opportunities in the humanitarian sector and a meaningful internship experience that will support their academic, professional, and personal development.
