Deadline: August 15, 2024

Applications for the AfCFTA Secretariat Internship Program 2024 are now open. Given the critical role to be played by the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) in moving the continent forward towards the achievement of its development agenda, it has been deemed necessary to create a platform for a number of African students, possessing the required knowledge and skill levels to be introduced to the work of the AfCFTA, through an internship program.

The internship program is designed to bring highly qualified and motivated students with diverse backgrounds into the Secretariat to work on projects linked to the Strategic Orientations of the Secretariat and to support the corporate functions of the Secretariat. Its main goal is to give successful candidates the opportunity to improve their analytical and technical skills in an international environment. The program is primarily educational and aims to expose participants (interns) to the workings of the AfCFTA at an early stage and strengthen their personal and early professional skills. It will provide an avenue for participants to gain an exposure and some hands-on experience in various applicable fields, while learning in a multi-cultural environment.

The Interns will be deployed to assist in providing administrative and technical support for effective implementation of AfCFTA programmes, projects and activities in its below Department/Directorates:

  • Office of the Secretary-General
  • Protocol Division
  • Communications Division
  • Conferences and Languages Division
  • Directorate of Trade in Goods and Competition
  • Directorate of Customs
  • Directorate of Trade in Services, Investment, IPR and Digital Trade
  • Directorate of Dispute Settlement and Legal Affairs
  • Directorate of Administration of Human Resources Management/IT Unit
  • Directorate of Finance
  • Directorate – Institutional Matters & Programme Coordination

Cost

  • The AfCFTA Secretariat will have no financial obligation towards interns – travel arrangements and cost of accommodation and living expenses will be the responsibility of the interns.
  • Interns will not be entitled to any compensation for travel.

Eligibility

  • Be nationals of a Member State of the African Union and residing in Ghana.
  • Final year students who are enrolled on full-time basis on a fully accredited degree program in a recognized public or private institution of higher learning in any of the following areas: Project/Program Management, Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E), Business Administration, Management or related fields.
  • Full availability for a minimum of three months, being the duration of the program.
  • Proficiency in one of the AU official working languages (French, English, Portuguese, Arabic, Kiswahili and Spanish) and fluency in another AU language(s) is an added advantage.
  • Applicants should possess a high level of quantitative and IT skills.
  • Must possess very good ICT skills and be familiar with Microsoft Office suite.
  • Applicants should be capable and willing to work in a multicultural and international team environment.
  • Applicants should be committed to upholding and adhering to the rules and values of the Institution for the duration of the program.
  • Female candidates are encouraged to apply.

Applicants must submit the following supporting documents with their online application:

  • A motivation letter be addressed to the Administration and Human Resources Directorate of the Secretariat and indicating what they expect to gain out of the internship program.
