UN Moldova Diversity Internship Programme - Welcome to the 5th Cohort

Thank you so much for joining us today!!

I am very excited to be here and to extend a very warm welcome to our seven new interns and their mentors from six UN Agencies. You are now joining a group that includes 49 former United Nations interns – several of which have been able to join us today.

Thank you for your dedication and your willingness to join the internship programme. Being an intern, while rewarding, is not always any easy task.

However, I am positive that the experience and opportunity will be as rewarding for you as it will be to the United Nations and the communities that we serve in Moldova.

This programme celebrates our individual and collective diversity and the importance and imperative of diversity to achieve our collective ambitions as citizens and as members of the United Nations System.

The strength of the United Nations systems is within the people who work for United Nations, with this I am very proud to welcome you to UN House Moldova and to the UN representational offices where you will be based.

The UN Country Team is deeply committed to this programme and can’t wait to have you join our teams and to get started!!
