We focus our global efforts on six signature solutions: eradication of poverty, accountable and inclusive governance, resilience, nature-based development solutions, clean and affordable energy, and gender equality.

The UNDP Oslo Governance Centre (OGC) is UNDP’s Global Policy Centre for policy development and applied research on pressing governance issues. The centre provides advice to UNDP programs on the ground and to UN global leadership on core and emerging governance issues. We connect research, policy, and practice by leveraging key partnerships with leading research institutions and relevant communities of practice. The OGC has a particular focus on building such partnership in relevant development contexts, as well as with Nordic actors.
As an intern at OGC you will earn an understanding of how international organisations function, gain knowledge on key and acute global governance challenges and be exposed to a group of dedicated international staff.
