The IFAD Internship Programme offers a learning opportunity for recent graduates and students whose academic background is relevant to IFAD’s mission. The official page describes the programme as a six-month internship designed for current students and recent university graduates.
About the Programme
On its official page, IFAD explains that young people contribute important ideas, knowledge, and energy to the workplace and to society. The internship programme is therefore offered to those specializing in fields linked to IFAD’s mission. The page also states that participants may undertake an additional six-month internship to gain a different learning experience and wider exposure to IFAD’s work.
Internship Length
The programme duration is six months. The source adds that a further six-month internship may be pursued as an additional learning experience.
Allowance
IFAD states that interns receive a monthly allowance. To support geographic diversity, the organization also offers a higher monthly allowance to interns from developing countries who need to travel to their duty station, with this additional support contributing to housing and travel expenses.
Who Can Apply
Applicants must be no older than 30. According to the source, eligible candidates are either enrolled in an accredited university or graduate school, have completed at least two years of undergraduate study, and have attended courses within the last 24 months, or have completed undergraduate or postgraduate studies within the last 24 months.
Language Criteria
The official page states that fluency in English is required. It also notes that knowledge of Arabic, French, or Spanish, which are IFAD official languages, or another language may be required depending on the region of assignment.
