**Contract type**: Internship
**Duty Station**: Geneva

UNICEF works in some of the world’s toughest places, to reach the world’s most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential.
Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone.
And we never give up.
**For every child, **_passion._**
Continued access to quality education during and after conflict, disaster, or epidemics plays an important role for crises-affected and displaced children, youth, families and communities. And yet, the right to education during and after these periods of emergencies and protracted crises is unevenly addressed by governments, the international community, donors and other stakeholders. Education in emergencies (EiE) is crucial for the protection and resilience of individuals as well as for the social and economic fabric and recovery of crisis-affected communities. Today, 222 million school-aged children have had their education disrupted by crisis and conflict.
Established by the Inter-agency Standing Committee as part of the cluster approach, the **UNICEF co-led Global Education Cluster** works towards a predictable, equitable and well-coordinated response addressing education concerns of crisis affected populations by reinforcing capacities of cluster staff and partners, providing timely remote and direct field support, strengthening robust assessment and analysis and advocating on their behalf. At the moment, 27 countries have a system-wide Inter-Agency humanitarian response in place with education clusters activated.
**How can you make a difference?**
The GEC is recruiting an intern who will provide support our communications and advocacy portfolio to raise awareness of education in emergencies issues, and profile the work of country coordination teams and partners.
