The FAO Internship Programme offers paid placements of 3–11 months at FAO headquarters in Rome or decentralized offices (including across Africa via the RAF call) for students and recent graduates aged 21–30 from FAO Member countries, with a monthly stipend of up to USD 700 for unsponsored interns. Applications are submitted through FAO's career portal via Calls for Expression of Interest, with the 2027 Africa (RAF) call reported to close 1 January 2027 and the HQ call on 31 December 2026.
Submissions are reviewed on a rolling basis against the criteria below. SAIGE captures your intent to apply — linking this opportunity to your business profile — before handing you off to Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)’s official application. This keeps your activity in one place and helps us surface better matches over time.
