Applications are now being accepted for the UNDP Digital Transformation Internship 2025 (United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)). International applicants are encouraged to apply; the internship will last three months. Because the internship will be conducted from home, the interns will receive a stipend of $200 to $500. No other country is required of the interns. The remuneration for working from home is less than that of physical labor. Students pursuing bachelor’s, master’s, and graduate degrees are eligible for the internship.
Since UNDP recognizes that digital technology is a powerful force reshaping the world and development, the internship’s goal is to give interns the opportunity to use digital technology in UNDP’s development projects, building digital ecosystems, and sharing ideas. The opportunity to collaborate with the UNDP is fantastic. More information about the duties, requirements, and application process for the internship is provided below.
About UNDP
As the lead United Nations agency on international development, UNDP works in 170 countries and territories to eradicate poverty and reduce inequality. We help countries develop policies, leadership skills, partnerships, and institutional capabilities to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. Our work is centred around six core development areas, known as our signature solutions: poverty and inequality, governance, resilience, environment, energy, and gender equality.
UNDP Mission and vision
UNDP’s mandate is to end poverty, build democratic governance, rule of law, and inclusive institutions. We advocate for change, and connect countries to knowledge, experience and resources to help people build a better life.
The UN Charter
The Charter of the United Nations was signed in San Francisco on 26 June 1945, at the conclusion of the United Nations Conference on International Organization, and came into force on 24 October 1945. Its purposes and principles are to maintain international peace and security, develop friendly relations among nations based on equal rights and self-determination, and to achieve international co-operation in solving economic, social, cultural, or humanitarian challenges without distinction for race, sex, language, or religion.
History
UNDP is based on the merging of the United Nations Expanded Programme of Technical Assistance, created in 1949, and the United Nations Special Fund, established in 1958. UNDP, as we know it now, was established in 1965 by the General Assembly of the United Nations.
