Application process
The following criteria are used to determine eligibility for the ESCWA Internship programme: 1. Applicants should be graduate students or holders of a first university degree or their equivalent who intend to study further or to work in a field relevant to the ESCWA work programme. Preference will be given to candidates pursuing a masters level degree. A national institution should sponsor the candidate (i.e. - certify that they are pursuing graduate studies). Academic institutions should certify that the internship is part of their programme study. 2. Applicants normally should not be more than 30 years of age.
The purpose of the programme is to promote among the participants a better understanding of major problems confronting the world and to give them an insight into how the United Nations attempts to find solutions to these problems. The programme also provides ESCWA with the assistance in the implementation of its programme by availing itself of the services of outstanding young students and professionals in relevant fields, such as agriculture, computer science, demography, economics, energy, engineering, environment, finance, international relations, journalism, mass media, political economy, public administration, sociology, statistics and translation and terminology.
