Duties and Responsibilities

In Indonesia, the United Nations (UN) has a long-standing partnership with the government, private sector, civil society, and youth to advance progress toward advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). At the core of the UN in Indonesia's work is the United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF)—the key strategic document guiding collaboration between the UN, the host government, and other partners. The UNSDCF outlines shared priorities and responsibilities, ensuring that the UN’s support complements national development plans and global goals. The United Nations Resident Coordinator Office (RCO) acts as the central hub for various UN agencies, funds, and programs within the country. Led by the Resident Coordinator (RC), the highest-ranking UN official in the country, the RCO ensures that the UN's efforts are aligned with national priorities and the SDGs. The UNRCO has five core functions: 1. Strategic Planning 2. Economics 3. Partnerships and development finance 4. Data and results management and reporting, and 5. Communications and advocacy. The Partnership Support Intern will work closely with the Partnership Officer to assist in events preparation, organization, research, documentation, communication, and coordination activities that support the RCO’s partnership-building efforts in Indonesia.

Specific tasks include: • Support on the preparation of briefs, summaries, and background notes on partnership-related topics; • Assisting in drafting partnership presentations, and concept notes; • Supporting the preparation of reports, meeting minutes, and follow-ups; • Developing content for partnership-related communication materials (e.g., newsletters, infographics, social media posts); • Supporting logistical coordination for partnership meetings, events, and workshops; • Managing and updating partnership databases and stakeholder contact lists; • Monitoring partnership timelines, deliverables, and follow-up actions; and • Facilitating inter-agency coordination efforts and stakeholder engagement activities. • The internship is UNPAID and full-time.
