Internship to Support the Regional Programme
Background

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the UN's global development network, operates in over 170 countries to address challenges such as poverty, climate change, governance, crisis response, and gender equality. The Regional Bureau for Arab States (RBAS), headquartered in Amman, oversees the Regional Programme and supports 18 country offices across the Arab region. Leveraging its regional presence and expertise, UNDP is uniquely positioned to drive initiatives that bridge policy gaps and accelerate digital adoption across the Arab region. In 2026, UNDP is launching its new Strategic Plan (2026-2029), focusing on sustainable, inclusive, and future-smart development, coupled with efforts to strengthen resilience, digital and green transitions, and social cohesion. The Regional Programme for the Arab States (2026–2029) translates UNDP's global ambitions into a regional framework grounded in national and regional priorities.

 

Project Background 

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion are core principles at UNDP: we value diversity as an expression of the multiplicity of nations and cultures where we operate, we foster inclusion as a way of ensuring all personnel are empowered to contribute to our mission, and we ensure equity and fairness in all our actions. Taking a 'leave no one behind' approach to our diversity efforts means increasing representation of underserved populations. People who identify as belonging to marginalized or excluded populations are strongly encouraged to apply. Learn more about working at UNDP including our values and [inspiring stories.](https://www.undp.org/careers)

UNDP does not tolerate sexual exploitation and abuse, any kind of harassment, including sexual harassment, and discrimination. All selected candidates will, therefore, undergo rigorous reference and background checks.

Through its regional projects, the Regional Programme generates and avails development knowledge, experience and expertise to countries across the region; supports the creation and development of inter-country initiatives and networks among governmental and non-governmental partners to address shared challenges at a sub-regional and regional levels; facilitates inter-country collaboration on cross-border issues, such as trade, environment, and migration; advances regional dialogues, and experience exchange on development issues that may be sensitive where regional level advocacy may enable country level engagement and action, such as with efforts to fight corruption and exclusionary practices targeting certain groups; and promotes experimentation and innovation to help overcome institutional, financial and knowledge barriers that may be too high for an individual country to surmount.
