International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD): Internship Programme

International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD)

The International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) is a specialized agency of the United Nations. It was established to finance agricultural development projects primarily for food production in developing countries. IFAD focuses on country-specific solutions, which can involve increasing rural poor peoples' access to financial services, markets, technology, land and other natural resources.

Applications are not solicited but may be submitted at any time. Applicants must be from a member country of IFAD. No more than 25 interns will be recruited during any calendar year on a first come first served basis. Should office facilities be available, consideration for higher numbers will be considered. IFAD will be responsible for obtaining the necessary visas and arranging travel to Rome. However, the costs of travel and accommodation are the responsibility of the Interns or their sponsorship institutions. Interns who have the chance to visit IFAD’s funded projects are responsible to cover all travel and insurance costs. IFAD will not provide medical insurance and Interns should carry their own medical insurance. They are however covered for accident-incurred, illness or death directly attributable to the performance of official duties, less any amount receivable from their own medical insurance.

Payment of US$600 per month.
