Terms of Reference
UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, is offering a full-time internship with the Corporate & Shared Value Partnership Team of the Private Sector Partnership Service under the Division of External Relations at UNHCR Headquarters in Geneva.

Established in December 1950, UNHCR is a global organization dedicated to saving lives, protecting rights and building a better future for asylum seekers, refugees, returnees, internally displaced communities and stateless people. Every year, millions of men, women and children are forced to flee their homes to escape conflict and persecution. UNHCR currently operates in over 130 countries, using its long expertise to protect and care for millions of people.

Organizational context:
UNHCR’s Private Sector Partnership Service (PSP) supports UNHCR’s fast-growing global collaboration with the private sector through its network in Africa, the Americas, Asia-Pacific, Europe, and the Middle East. Within PSP, the Private Partnerships and Philanthropy Section (PPH) engages corporations, private foundations and individual philanthropists. Within PPH, the Corporate and Shared Value Partnerships Unit, based in Geneva and Copenhagen, develops and supports UNHCR’s fundraising network across the globe to develop partnerships with companies to raise funds, advocate for and advance refugees’ rights, promote refugees’ economic and financial inclusion, and increase refugees’ access to products and services that they require.

The position:
The communications and knowledge management intern will contribute to the development and implementation of the team’s content strategy with an eye to strengthening online and print communications, brand awareness and public engagement for UNHCR’s partnerships with corporates. This entails looking at our internal communication of corporate guidance to PSP and non-PSP network as well as products for corporate audience.

  2. Contribute to the planning, development and management of best practice communications that maximizes engagement and visibility for UNHCR’s work on corporate and shared value partnerships;
  3. Support content development, production, and distribution in close coordination with UNHCR’s communication and content teams.
  4. Work with UNHCR’s global corporate fundraiser network to understand needs and priorities and socialise products / content.

Knowledge management:

  1. Research and analyse trends impacting corporate collaborations, to help inform the roll-out of the social impact workplan, especially the advocacy and influencing business practice workstreams;
  2. Support the formation of communities of practice on corporate partnerships;
  3. Identify success stories and maintain good practice database;
  4. Help organize webinars, conference calls, and in-person meetings as required;
  5. Help ensure core PPH corporate team community documents, including presentations, and case and reference materials, are up-to-date, of high quality, and readily available.
