Org. Setting and Reporting

The Office of the United Nations (UN) High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) is the Secretariat department responsible for strengthening international human rights mechanisms; enhancing equality and countering discrimination; combating impunity and strengthening accountability and the rule of law; integrating human rights in development and in the economic sphere; widening the democratic space; and early warning and protection of human rights in situations of conflict, violence and insecurity.

This announcement broadcasts international internship assignments with the Thematic Engagement, Special Procedures and Rights to Development Division. This particular internship aims to attract individuals who have an interest in contributing toward the implementation of OHCHR's Dynamic Knowledge Organizational Effectiveness Action Plan, which focuses on promoting knowledge sharing and global collaboration between colleagues through the identification of appropriate tools and methodologies and building staff capacity in the use thereof.

Located in the Methodology, Education and Training Section, the Dynamic Knowledge Officer works on a number of priority areas, which include: Designing, developing and implementing innovative on-boarding practices and modalities for new staff/staff joining a new job; Designing, developing and implementing a Knowledge Hub to be hosted on the Intranet; and Identifying, launching and supporting the use of new tools and platforms that foster greater sharing of knowledge, collaboration and peer support across the organization.
