UN Habitat Job Vacancy 2024

Responsibilities:

  • UN-Habitat promotes urbanization as a positive transformative force for people and communities, reducing inequality, discrimination and poverty.
  • The internship is located in the Regional Office in Africa (ROAF), UN-Habitat, Nairobi.
  • The Southern African region and South-West Indian Ocean are highly exposed to transboundary extreme climate-related events, floods, drought and cyclones. More threats exist in this region that compound the effects of these natural hazards, some of natural origin (such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, among others) and others induced by anthropogenic interventions, such as land and environmental degradation and uncontrolled urbanisation.
  • These events have resulted in loss of lives and livelihoods and displacement of millions of people.
  • The unprecedented urban growth witnessed in the region has resulted in the progressive accumulation of risk in cities and towns, largely due to weak urban governance capacity to manage rapid expansion. Much of the population expansion has been taking place outside, or in the absence of, official planning frameworks.

Qualification & Experience:

  • Be enrolled in a graduate school programme (second university degree or equivalent, or higher),
  • Be enrolled in the final academic year of a first university degree program (minimum Bachelor’s level or equivalent),
  • Have graduated with Bachelor’s degree, Masters, PhD or equivalent.
  • Be computer literate in standard software applications (Microsoft Office Suite).
  • Have demonstrated a keen interest in the work of the United Nations and have a personal commitment to the ideals of the Charter.
