International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD): Internship Programme
The Internship Programme aims to promote a better understanding of the United Nations and IFAD. IFAD recruits outstanding undergraduates and graduates students who are offered the opportunity to acquire knowledge of a "real work" environment to the mutual benefit of both the Organization and the Intern. Interns are fully involved in the work programme of the Division that has selected them to carry out assignments relevant to their studies under the supervision of a responsible staff member. During this period, the intern may have a chance to visit IFAD-funded projects.

Application process and requirements
Applications are not solicited but may be submitted at any time. Applicants must be from a member country of IFAD. No more than 25 interns will be recruited during any calendar year on a first come first served basis. Should office facilities be available, consideration for higher numbers will be considered. IFAD will be responsible for obtaining the necessary visas and arranging travel to Rome. However, the costs of travel and accommodation are the responsibility of the Interns or their sponsorship institutions. Interns who have the chance to visit IFAD’s funded projects are responsible to cover all travel and insurance costs. IFAD will not provide medical insurance and Interns should carry their own medical insurance. They are however covered for accident-incurred, illness or death directly attributable to the performance of official duties, less any amount receivable from their own medical insurance.
