The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is offering new remote internship opportunities for students and recent graduates who want to gain experience with an international organization. These internships provide a chance to work with global teams, contribute to development projects, and build professional skills while working from home.
Below are two opportunities currently open in March 2026.
- UNDP- Data Collection and Communication Intern ( Deadline: March 09,2026)
- Strategic Engagement Intern (3 positions) – Deadline: March 12, 2026
Data Collection and Communication Intern
Deadline: March 9, 2026
UNDP is looking for a Data Collection and Communication Intern to support work related to research, information gathering, and communication activities. The intern will help collect and organize data, assist with preparing reports or content, and contribute to communication materials used by the team.
This role is ideal for candidates who are interested in development research, data analysis, communications, or international development work. Interns may also gain experience using digital tools, working with global datasets, and supporting knowledge-sharing initiatives.
Strategic Engagement Intern (3 Positions)
Deadline: March 12, 2026
UNDP is also recruiting three Strategic Engagement Interns. These positions focus on supporting partnerships, outreach, and collaboration with stakeholders. Interns may assist with research, preparing briefing materials, supporting meetings, and helping teams strengthen engagement with partners.
The role can be a good opportunity for individuals interested in international relations, public policy, communications, or development cooperation.
Why These Internships Matter
Internships with UNDP allow young professionals to understand how international development organizations operate. Participants work with experienced professionals and contribute to initiatives that address global challenges such as poverty reduction, sustainable development, and inclusive growth.
Because these roles are remote, candidates from different parts of the world can apply and participate without relocating.
How to Apply
Interested applicants should visit the official UNDP careers website to review full requirements, eligibility criteria, and application procedures. Since deadlines are approaching soon, candidates are encouraged to apply as early as possible.
These internships can be a valuable step for anyone looking to start a career within the United Nations system or the wider international development sector.
