Interns play a very important role in Uwezo’s work and we welcome applications from recent graduates from Uganda and around the world. We are always looking for new interns to support us in our main areas of work: Assessment and Action, Research and Experimentation, Communication and Advocacy, Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL), Finance, and Administration.
Uwezo internships are normally for three months and can be a maximum of six months
We encourage applications from skilled and motivated young people to serve as interns.
The purpose of the internship is to provide an opportunity for individuals to substantively contribute to and learn from our work. The intern will be given specific tasks and responsibilities and will be challenged to develop their capabilities and gain experience. We are looking for interns who are committed, hard-working, positive, open-minded, reflective and willing to learn. We seek to find a balance between Ugandan interns and those from other countries. We look for a diversity of interests, backgrounds and experiences. At any one time we expect to engage up to three interns.
What we offer
Uwezo Uganda does not offer any remuneration for its internships. It offers an exciting work environment, modern office space, lunch and a modest allowance to cover local travel. In some cases, we may be able to reimburse costs of visas and vaccinations. The intern is wholly responsible for all other expenses, including health insurance, accommodation and incidentals.
