Intern (26 weeks, Addis Ababa/Part-time) at UNICEF



UNICEF Vacancy in Ethiopia: 

Position: Intern (26 weeks, Addis Ababa/Part-time)
Application Deadline: March, 31/2024

Purpose of the internship: 
UNICEF Ethiopia’s Learning and Development (Education) section focuses on Strengthening access to quality education at the primary education level, implementing early learning and school readiness, revision of school curricula, improving life skills education, strengthening school gender clubs, and engaging communities to support girls’ education, systems strengthening, and working on disability-inclusive programming. Estimates for the number of persons with disabilities in Ethiopia range from 7.8 million (9.3 percent of the population) to 15 million (17.6 percent) with an estimated 55 percent being children. Persons with disabilities in Ethiopia are amongst the poorest and most marginalized groups.

Multi-dimensional child poverty for children with disabilities impacts every aspect of a household, including their access to education and affordability of other basic services (Health, Nutrition, Social policy, WASH, and protection).
