UNICEF works in some of the world’s toughest places, to reach the world’s most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential.
Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone.
And we never give up.
I. Background and Purpose of Assignment
The Europe and Central Asia Regional Office (ECARO) is implementing the organization-wide Digital Workplace Project, which requires migration of existing content to a new digital platform and creation of new sites. This process provides a valuable opportunity for rationalizing the knowledge management systems across regional and country offices.
A new communication page will be set-up as the new intranet platform for ECARO with key guidelines, documents and knowledge resources around the regional office annual priorities. Collaboration sites will be developed as well for ECARO team-working and sharing.
A situation analysis site will be set-up to bring together data from the analysis that come from a variety of sources. This site will contain the summary of findings and recommendations from the situation analysis to easily access information for policy and programme work.
Under the guidance and supervision of the Knowledge Management Specialist in UNICEFs’ Regional Office, the intern will provide support to activities undertaken within the framework of the current Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation Section Work Plan. The following section will describe the tasks that the intern is expected to contribute to.
General Tasks
II. Supervision
The intern will work under the guidance and supervision of the UNICEF Knowledge Management Specialist in accordance with the standards, norms and procedures of UNICEF.
III. Conditions of Service
The intern will work either part-time or full-time (depending on the intern’s academic schedule) at the UNICEF ECARO Istanbul Bureau for a duration of minimum 6 weeks (full time) of up to 6 months. Interns will be provided with a stipend to help cover the cost of lunch and transportation expenses within Istanbul. If interns are not based in Istanbul, they should be ready to cover all other expenses such as travel to the duty station, accommodation, meals and any additional costs above and beyond the stipend. Interns without Turkish nationalities or residence permits are personally responsible for obtaining necessary visa for the whole duration of the internship. Office might only support with the Note Verbale for the visa application if needed.
UNICEF accepts no responsibility for the medical insurance of the intern or costs arising from accidents and illness incurred during the internship. Interns have to demonstrate a proof of medical insurance prior to the beginning of the internship.
The purpose of the Internship Programme is not to lead to further employment with UNICEF but to complement an intern's studies. Therefore, there should be no expectation of employment at the end of an internship.
