About the IFAD Internship Programme
The IFAD Internship Programme offers a six-month paid internship for current university students and recent graduates specialising in fields relevant to IFAD’s work. Interns can also apply for an additional six-month term to gain a broader learning experience in different IFAD departments.
To promote diversity, IFAD provides higher monthly allowances (including contributions towards housing and travel) to interns from developing countries who need to relocate for their internship.
