Interns bring diverse profiles and knowledge, innovative thinking and different ideas to the UNHCR workplace. The work of UNHCR also benefits broadly from increased linkages and exchanges, formal and informal, with academia globally through interns. The work of interns is expected to contribute to UNHCR delivering on its mandate for refugees and asylum seekers, returnees, stateless people and internally displaced persons and helping the Organization remain relevant in the competitive humanitarian environment.
