- Contribute to collect and compile activity data, document achievements and lessons learned, and contribute to periodic progress reports.
- Prepare a final internship report summarizing the activities conducted, results achieved, challenges encountered, and recommendations.
Duration: Each cohort of intern is needed for a period of 6 months.
Remuneration and working conditions
The intern will observe the opening and closing hours of the office as follows:
Monday to Thursday: 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM with a break between 1:00 PM and 2:00 PM; Friday: 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM.
The intern will receive a monthly stipend by the regulations. However, he shall not enjoy health coverage or other privileges or immunities by the relevant rules and procedures of the organization. He/she must provide a valid medical certificate upon arrival. However, to perform his work in the best possible way, the intern will benefit from a workspace, a machine, and access to the Internet.
Evaluation of the internship
The intern will have to produce mini reports on a weekly basis, highlighting his or her interventions or all the requests he or she has handled. The consolidation of the four weekly reports will constitute the monthly report, which will be submitted for assessment by the SBC supervisor at the field office, in collaboration with the Chief of Field Office and the Chief of SBC section. The validation of this monthly report will start the intern's process of payment. The final internship report will be based on all the monthly reports and will give rise to an overall assessment, resulting in the attribution of an internship certificate.
