TERMS OF REFERENCE FOR INTERNSHIP
Background information/Organizational Context:
Since the war in Ukraine began on 24 February, over 640,000 people have left the country and arrived in the Republic of Moldova (hereinafter “Moldova”). While many have since moved onwards into the European Union, over 93,000 refugees remain in Moldova today. In close cooperation with the Government, UNHCR helps coordinate a multi-sectoral humanitarian response to support these refugees as well as the communities that host them.
UNHCR Moldova in Chisinau is looking for an intern to join our team and be part of this lifesaving refugee response. The internship will be based in the Field Unit, gaining hands-on experience working for an international organization during an emergency.
