UNFPA/UN Volunteer Population Data Fellowship

Enabling young people to realize their full social, economic and human potential is a core component of the partnership between the UN Volunteers (UNV) programme and UN Population Fund (UNFPA). With this in mind, we are pleased to announce the launch of the Population Data Fellows for Female Genital Multilation (FGM) Data and Research in the fall of 2020. We are looking to recruit the best and brightest young talent to join in the fight against harmful practices.
