Are you looking for an internship opportunity with one of the world’s largest NGOs? If the answer is yes, you could be our new intern for the spring semester.
Who are we?
Most of DRC’s resources to help support conflict and displacement affected persons come from institutional donors such as the European Commission, UN agencies, and bilateral humanitarian and development funding envelopes from major donor countries. The Institutional Donor Unit (IDU) ensures that DRC takes a rigorous approach to address our donors and keeps abreast of new funding opportunities. The IDU is working to increase DRC’s capacity to expand, deepen, and strengthen partnerships and fundraising activities with institutional donors.
About the internship
The IDU intern will be a part of a dynamic team spread across DRC HQ, DRC representations and DRC Ukraine. Further, there will be close collaboration with the DRC Regional Business Development colleagues and across HQ departments. The intern will support the team in researching donor trends and enhancing the internal communication of donor priorities, trends and news across DRC HQ, Representations and 41 country operations. The tasks include but are not limited to:
