Detailed description of the About the organisation:
internship project(s); The Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) is one of the five regional
tasks assigned commissions of the United Nations. It was founded in 1947 with the purpose of
contributing to the region’s economic and social development. Its mission is to
promote pan-European economic integration and cooperation as well as sustainable
development and economic prosperity among its 56 member States.
About the section:
The Joint UNECE/FAO Forestry and Timber Section supports the implementation of
Integrated Program of Work and serves as the Secretariat of the Food and Agriculture
Organization of the UN (FAO) European Forestry Commission (EFC) and UNECE
Committee on Forestry and Forest Industries (COFFI), which cover work areas on
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
the Teams of Specialists), is to support member States, international organizations
and relevant stakeholders in their efforts to sustainably manage and use forests so
that they provide products and ecosystem services to benefit society.
Fields of work for the CSP intern:
The intern will be supporting environmental and forestry communication
campaigns to promote the International Day of Forests, the European Forest Week
and the dissemination of information by designing campaigns, organising events,
writing press releases, communicating via social media and producing flyers and other
information material as required. Coordination and collaboration with the regional
Team of Specialists on Forest Communication – the Forest Communicators’ Network
will be possible. Communicating effectively within and outside the forest sector is
essential to promote sustainable forest management. Enhancing the efforts of COFFI
and EFC to reach out to relevant constituencies, to draw attention to the regional
priorities in the forest sector and to increase the dissemination of the information and
tools produced, at national, regional and global levels, will make an important
contribution to the Agenda 2030. Topic which might be covered in communication
campaigns include in relation to forests: sustainable fashion (wood-based fibres),
forest products, monitoring, statistics, capacity-building, wood energy, green jobs,
ecosystem services, green economy etc.
The UNECE/FAO Forestry and Timber Section is set within a science-policy interface,

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 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:
• Support the development and updating of tools to monitor implementation progress

of WACA ResIP
• Prepare and update WACA ResIP project documentation, including

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

parts of Sub-Saharan Africa and Asia. The World Bank is currently identifying
promising approaches to tackling this global challenge based on the
neuroscience of adult learning and the global experience of adult literacy
programs.
3) Strengthening student assessment systems. The World Bank is supporting

its client countries in measuring learning outcomes, from formative and
summative classroom assessment to large-scale national, regional, and
international student assessments. The SABER-Student Assessment
instrument enables countries to benchmark their student assessment systems
to global best practices and to identify areas in need of support. With the
launch of the Human Capital Index in October 2018, the agenda on
measurement of student learning in an internationally-comparable way has
become even more prominent.

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
