“Thanks to the International Development and Diplomacy Internship Programme (IDDIP), I had the amazing opportunity to intern within the UNDP Rwanda Democratic Governance and Peace Consolidation Unit. During my internship, I acquired invaluable international work experience within the United Nations system. My work-integrated learning placement was demanding, allowing me to grow both professionally and at the personal level. My participation in this programme helped me to clearly define my career path and to have the unique opportunity of being hired as a consultant by UNDP Rwanda after my placement. At the personal level, my placement in Rwanda allowed me to greatly expand my knowledge of the country, its history, governance issues, its language and its amazing people. I will always be grateful to IDDIP for providing me the opportunity to participate in such a rewarding experience.”
– Sabrina, JPC to UNDP Rwanda (Kigali, Rwanda)
