forest and timber data, monitoring and assessment, policy dialogue and advice,
communication and outreach and capacity-building. The overall goal of the Integrated
Programme of Work 2018-2021 for COFFI and the EFC, their technical bodies (the
Joint ECE/FAO Working Party for Forests Statistics, Economics and Management and

Detailed description of the This position is in arguably one of the most exciting areas of Artificial Intelligence (AI):
internship project(s); the application of AI in health. The work focuses on open benchmarks for the evaluation
tasks assigned of AI-algorithms such as AI-based diagnosis, triage or treatment decisions.
Background
The health sector, one of the most important sectors for societies and economies
worldwide, is particularly interesting for AI applications. The potential for AI-assisted
health decision making is immense, yet the sector lacks various forms of standards. For
this reason, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) has established a new
Focus Group on "Artificial Intelligence for Health" (FG-AI4H) in partnership with the
World Health Organization (WHO). FG-AI4H will establish a standardized assessment
framework with open benchmarks for the evaluation of AI-based methods for health,
such as AI-based diagnosis, triage or treatment decisions.
The task of the group is daunting – it is similar to designing the approval process of a
medication, except that in our case the approval is given to an algorithm rather than a
medical drug.
The main duties and responsibilities of the applicant will be to:
1. Conduct technical research and draft reports on the latest AI trends of image
analysis for health, with focus on benchmarking AI-based methods.
2. Assist in the project management of an international group in collaboration with
WHO (World Health Organization).

Detailed description of the Integrity is essential for regaining trust and building strong institutions resistant to
internship project(s); corruption. Corruption in the public sector hampers the efficiency of public services,
tasks assigned undermines confidence in public institutions and increases the cost of public
transactions. Policies addressing both the public service and the intersection between

the G20. In this context, the division helps policy makers adopt good practices and
implement established principles and standards on integrity and anti-corruption in areas
ranging from building a culture of integrity in the public and private sector and society,
effective management of conflict of interests, adequate lobbying as well as political
finance regulation and whistleblower protection. Furthermore, the division works on
control and audit, both internal and external (e.g. Supreme Audit Institutions and Good
Governance). PSI also conducts country reviews in order to provide strategic proposals
for governments to enhance their integrity systems (e.g. OECD Integrity Review of Peru
or OECD Integrity Review of Thailand).
The Carlo Schmid fellow will, under the guidance of experienced policy analysts,
support tasks related to the implementation of the Division’s work programme:
• Undertake research on integrity and anti-corruption, control and audit, a specific
focus will depend on the knowledge, experience and interest of the fellow;

• Draft and edit policy documents;
• Liaise with external partners and internally across the OECD;
• Assist with the preparation and follow-up of workshops on specific topics;
• Contribute to developing good practice standards;
• Analyse integrity systems of countries and give specific recommendations how
to strengthen them;
• Draft speeches and prepare briefing notes for specific high-level meetings
• Facilitate the organisation of events, such as Working Party of the Senior
Public Integrity Officials and the Integrity Forum 2020.

Detailed description of the West Africa’s coastal areas are home to about one-third of the region’s people—and
internship project(s); the population is growing 4% each year. The region hosts an abundance of natural
tasks assigned resources, on land and at sea, which provides vital ecosystem services. These
resources help drive economic growth and provide the livelihoods of many poor
people. However, unsustainable infrastructure development, inadequate management
of natural habitats and resources, and pollution threaten the productivity of coastal
ecosystems. Climate change–related events such as sea-level rise and warming, land
subsidence, storm surge, and coastal flooding contribute to the region’s vulnerability.
As part of its response to climate change in West Africa, the World Bank has set up
the West Africa Coastal Areas (WACA) Management Program, which seeks to
strengthen the resilience of targeted communities and areas in the region. The
program has been mobilizing financing and technical assistance in support of existing
coastal management initiatives in the region. In this context, the World Bank approved
in April 2018 the WACA Resilience Investment Project (WACA ResIP) that supports
six countries in the region. The Bank is seeking to hire a Carlo Schmid Intern to
support the implementation of the WACA Program as follows:
Training components and • The intern will be a full member of the interdisciplinary WACA team, which will
learning elements provide ample opportunity for on-the-job learning on Bank operations and

• The intern will be given room to participate in the Bank’s learning program and to
attend knowledge events inside and outside the Bank.

Detailed description of the The South Asia Region (SAR) comprises eight countries (Afghanistan, Bangladesh,
internship project(s); Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka) that range in size from India
tasks assigned (with a population of over 1 billion) to Maldives (with 0.4 million people). The region
has experienced a long period of robust economic growth, averaging 6% a year over
the past 20 years. It is currently the fastest growing region in the world. This strong
growth has translated into reducing extreme poverty (with the exception of
Afghanistan) and strong improvements in human development (for instance under-5
mortality rates declined three-fold since 1990). Yet the region remains home to one-
third of the world’s poorest, and the challenge of inequality is not fully addressed.
There are severe forms of exclusion and disparities based on ethnicity, caste, and
gender. Conflict and fragility are on the raise, and increased attention to refugees and
returnees is needed in Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan. Also, the high growth
has not translated into creating jobs at the pace required to accommodate around 1.5
m people entering the labor force every month and disproportionally affecting women,
with signs of decline in female labor force participation and still high rates of child
marriage. Finally, SAR is becoming one of the regions most affected by changes in
temperature and extreme weather events – with rapid glaciers melt, floods and
increasing hot spots. Around 46% of the region’s population live in locations that will
turn into hotspots by 2050, if things continue on its current trajectory.
With it sizeable population and these persistent and recent challenges, South Asia
plays an important role in the global development story. The twin goals cannot be
achieved without South Asia’s contribution. Private sector led growth, focused on
investments in infrastructure, energy, logistics and cities are essential to generate the
jobs needed to employ SAR’s sizeable youth population. At the same time, we need
to continue building the region’s human capital and addressing the pockets of fragility
so that SAR’s population is well equipped for the jobs of the future. Focusing on these
areas (the pillars of the WBG’s operational framework for SAR) will leverage SAR’s
success.

Detailed description of the CONTEXTE
internship project(s); Assisting 80 million people in around 80 countries each year, the World Food
tasks assigned Programme (WFP) is the leading humanitarian organization saving lives and changing
lives, delivering food assistance in emergencies and working with communities to
improve nutrition and build resilience.
As the international community has committed to end hunger, achieve food security and
improved nutrition by 2030, one in nine people worldwide still do not have enough to
eat. Food and food-related assistance lie at the heart of the struggle to break the cycle
of hunger and poverty. In Madagascar, WFP works on several focus areas including
emergency preparedness and response, nutrition, school feeding and resilience
building.
Due to the negative impacts of the El Nino induced drought in 2016/2017, rain shortfalls
impacts and failed harvests in 2018, WFP aims at providing relief food assistance and
early recovery support to 849,000 food insecure and vulnerable people through food
distributions and cash transfers during the prolonged 2018-2019 lean season. WFP
works to prevent acute malnutrition, reduce stunting (low height for age) and extend
nutritional support to people suffering from tuberculosis. Ahead of the cyclone season,
WFP pre-positions food in remote and disaster-prone areas. Furthermore, WFP
provides school meals with the support of the Ministry of National Education and is
helping to develop a national school meals policy and a home-grown school meals
programme linked to smallholder farmer production. As part of this programme, during
the 2017/2018 school year, around 290,000 school children benefitted from daily hot
meals, fortified with micronutrient powders in 1,100 primary public schools of southern
Madagascar. In the south, school meals constitute a social security net for the most
vulnerable households.
To enhance smallholder farmers’ access to markets, WFP encourages local food
purchase and builds the capacity of farmers’ associations to improve crop quality. WFP
promotes resilience in three main ways: assessing the country’s vulnerability to multiple
shocks; facilitating and coordinating seasonal livelihood activities in the most vulnerable
districts; and implementing community-level planning.
The internship project is to improve knowledge management around WFP Resilience
specific and sensitive activities including gender impact and woman empowerment:
