What is the UNDP Thailand Communications and Outreach Internship?
UNDP works in about 170 countries to reduce poverty and inequality and support the Sustainable Development Goals. The Thailand Country Office raises its profile with media, government, NGOs and partners.
The intern works under the Head of Communications. About half the time goes to communications: social media content in Thai and English, presentations, graphics and video. About 40% is administrative support, translation, media lists, website updates and press releases. The rest is ad hoc work.
What you get
- A monthly stipend of THB 8,302.50
- Six months of full-time work experience at a UN agency
- Hands-on communications work: social media, design, video and press
The stipend is the only payment. Interns cover travel, housing and living costs themselves, and must show proof of health insurance.
