United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD): Internship Programme

Occasionally the United Nations arranges ad-hoc internships for graduate students specializing in a field related to the work of the United Nations. These internships are intended to promote among the participants a better understanding of international problems and give an insight into the work of the United Nations and to provide departments with the able assistance of outstanding young students specializing in a field related to their own work. Participants are selected from among applicants strongly supported by their university/college or nominated by the Permanent Missions to the UN and in whom a department or office has expressed interest.
