The United Nations Development Program may make the list of top organizations to work in international development. But applicants beware: A job with UNDP could mean staying in some of the world’s hot spots.
UNDP offers a wide range of openings for people with backgrounds in international development and related areas for duty stations across Africa, Latin America, Asia, Europe and North America.
But according to UNDP’s recruitment chief Michael Emery, anyone who wants to work for the agency must be “prepared to spend time in some difficult places,” primarily because most of the job opportunities are found there.
