FAO's Internship Programme for Africa offers 3 to 11 month internships in FAO offices for students and recent graduates aged 21-30. Apply by 31 Dec 2026.

Overview


The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is calling for interns for its Internship Programme for Africa (RAF). Interns are placed in FAO offices across Africa.


This call is for university students and recent graduates aged 21 to 30 who study a field linked to FAO's work. Internships last from 3 to 11 months.


Applicants must be nationals of FAO member countries. FAO does not keep a roster, so people not picked before the call closes must apply again to a new call.


Deadline: 31 December 2026, 11:59 PM as shown on the FAO portal. Apply early, because the portal time zone may differ from yours.
