FAO Internship Programme for Africa 2026

Description

The FAO Internship Programme enables young talent to contribute to organisational work related to food, agriculture, natural resources, public policy and operational support. Individual assignments depend on office needs and on the academic and professional profile selected from the applicant pool. Candidates must be enrolled at a recognised institution or be recent graduates, know at least one FAO official language and meet the age and nationality conditions stated in the vacancy. Placements last from three to eleven months. Applications are accepted only through the official FAO Careers platform under vacancy 2600030. The editorial review used the official organisation page. Applicants should prepare the file directly from those instructions, include every requested supporting item and avoid paid intermediaries. The confirmed deadline is 25 August 2026; submitting early leaves time to correct a rejected document or a technical problem before the portal closes.
