About The Position
The global network of United Nations Information Centres (UNICs) is part of the Campaigns and Country Operations Division. It is key to the Organization's ability to reach the peoples of the world and to share the United Nations story with them in their own languages. These centres, working in coordination with the UN system, reach out to the media and educational institutions, engage in partnerships with governments, local civil society organizations and the private sector, and maintain libraries and electronic information resources. Just as UNICs are the principal sources of information about the United Nations system in the countries where they are located, they are also responsible for promoting greater public understanding of and support for the aims and activities of the United Nations by disseminating information on the work of the Organization to people everywhere, especially in developing countries. This internship is located in the United Nations Information Centre (UNIC Lima) in Lima, and is offered for an initial period of two months, with an opportunity for extension up to, but not exceeding, six months, pending on the needs of the department. The internship is UNPAID. The Interns must cover full time working hours (35 hours), under the supervision and support of a staff member from the office to which they are assigned. Part-time schedules could be arranged depending on UNIC Lima's requirements. Intern will report to UNIC Lima's National Information Officer.
