UNICEF works in over 190 countries and territories to save children's lives, defend their rights, and help them fulfill their potential, from early childhood through adolescence. At UNICEF, we are committed, passionate, and proud of what we do. Promoting the rights of every child is not just a job ? it is a calling. UNICEF is a place where careers are built: we offer our staff diverse opportunities for personal and professional development that will help them develop a fulfilling career while delivering on a rewarding mission. We pride ourselves on a culture that helps staff thrive, coupled with an attractive compensation and benefits package. Visit our website to learn more about what we do at UNICEF. For every child, nutrition The fundamental mission of UNICEF is to promote the rights of every child, everywhere, in everything the organization does ? in programmes, in advocacy and in operations. The equity strategy, emphasizing the most disadvantaged and excluded children and families, translates this commitment to children's rights into action. For UNICEF, equity means that all children have an opportunity to survive, develop and reach their full potential, without discrimination, bias or favoritism. To the degree that any child has an unequal chance in life ? in its social, political, economic, civic, and cultural dimensions ? her or his rights are violated. There is growing evidence that investing in the health, nutrition, education, and protection of a society's most disadvantaged citizens ? addressing inequity ? not only will give all children the opportunity to fulfill their potential but also will lead to sustained growth and stability of countries. This is why the focus on equity is so vital. It accelerates progress towards realizing the human rights of all children, which is the universal mandate of UNICEF, as outlined by the Convention on the Rights of the Child, while also supporting the equitable development of nations. The evolving face of maternal and child malnutrition in South Asia region demands a multifaceted response that supports nutritious, safe, affordable diets, nutrition services and positive nutrition practices across the lifecycle. At the same time, the climate crisis is slowing, and at times reverting, regional progress on ending child malnutrition in the region. The UNICEF Nutrition Strategy 2020?2030 calls for UNICEF programmes to strengthen the capacity and accountability of five key systems ? food, health, water and sanitation, education, and social protection ? to deliver nutritious diets, essential nutrition services and positive nutrition practices for children, adolescents, and women. The health system is a key delivery platform for the prevention and treatment of malnutrition, providing multiple contact opportunities with children, adolescents, and women. However, all too often, health systems do not effectively integrate nutrition services. Cocoverage of health and nutrition interventions is far from optimal and disproportionately affects poor households in South Asia. Therefore, policy and programming efforts should pay attention to closing coverage, equity, and opportunity gaps, and improving nutrition service delivery through health system and other delivery platforms. Accelerating health and nutrition outcomes for vulnerable women and children through multi-sectoral community action and support to the Community Health Delivery Partnership (CHDP) agenda is an organisational priority for UNICEF across all levels of the organization.

UNDP is committed to achieving workforce diversity in terms of gender, nationality and culture. Individuals from minority groups, indigenous groups and persons with disabilities are equally encouraged to apply. All applications will be treated with the strictest confidence. 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. Background CORPORATE BACKGROUND: UNDP works in about 170 countries and territories, helping to achieve the eradication of poverty, and the reduction of inequalities and exclusion. We help countries to develop policies, leadership skills, partnering abilities, institutional capabilities and build resilience to sustain development results. UNDP is working to strengthen new frameworks for development, disaster risk reduction and climate change. We support countries' efforts to achieve the new Sustainable Development Goals, which will guide global development priorities through 2030. The key 2030 Agenda principle of leaving no one behind and stamping out inequality is at the core of everything we do. UNDP focuses on helping countries build and share solutions in three primary areas: - Sustainable development - Democratic governance and peacebuilding - Climate and disaster resilience In all our activities, we encourage the protection of human rights and the empowerment of women, minorities and the poorest and most vulnerable. INTERNSHIP OFFICE BACKGROUND: Internships offer a small group of outstanding undergraduate and graduate-level students the opportunity to acquire direct exposure to UNDP's work. Internships are not alternative forms of employment. They are a way to offer young professionals the opportunity to complement their studies with hands on experience.

It is the relationship of the work experience to their studies and/or their future academic or career ambitions which gives the internship assignment value. They cannot be used to replace support staff or conduct strictly support functions.

The IDB Group is a community of diverse, versatile, and passionate people who come together on a journey to improve lives in Latin America and the Caribbean. Our people find purpose and do what they love in an inclusive, collaborative, agile, and rewarding environment. About this position Established in 1959, the Inter-American Development Bank ("IDB" or "Bank") is the main source of financing for economic, social and institutional development in Latin America and the Caribbean. It provides loans, grants, guarantees, policy advice and technical assistance to the public and private sectors of its borrowing countries. The IDB recognizes that transparency and accountability are instrumental in improving effective delivery of public services and creating a business climate that incentivizes investment and supports private sector development. Evidence demonstrates that lack of transparency and integrity can affect a country's productivity and economic growth. Research points to several determinants, including systems and processes that restrict access to information, weak legal and regulatory enforcement, as well as flawed institutions, laws and regulations leaving room for state capture, discretional decision making, corruption, and an uneven playing field for the private sector. Therefore, transparency and accountability play central roles in promoting integrity, equitable application of the law, public trust, and good governance. The Bank assists its member countries efforts, as well as private sector initiatives that are consistent with the promotion of transparency and integrity. A key initiative of the IDBG is promoting the use of Public Private Partnerships. Through effective public policy and strong public-private partnerships (PPPs), the Americas can achieve sustained and inclusive economic growth, increased productivity, and enhanced competitiveness. The level of success that countries can achieve in developing PPP projects and programs is closely linked to the strength of their institutions and the frameworks established to govern, develop, and manage contracts. As indicated in a recent technical note by the IDB, "Good governance must promote projects with properly assigned risks; they should be divided or shared between the contracting parties that are most capable of managing them. When translating policy into successful implementation the quality of the institutions and their effectiveness must also be protected. For both natural or early contract termination, a well-defined, transparent structure with institutions that have clear roles and duties is key to properly managing the termination and to providing fair restitution or compensation to the parties involved" Good governance of a PPPs framework relies on the principles set forth by the UN, which require, "Participation, Decency, Transparency, Accountability, Fairness and Efficiency". Recent integrity scandals, particularly related to the infrastructure sector, require strengthening public and private sector regulations and practices to ensure these principles are observed.
