How a 2026 UN-Habitat Internship in Nairobi Can Launch Your Career in Global Urban Governance
As the world hurtles toward a future where 70% of the population will live in cities, the mission of UN-Habitat has never been more critical. For the 2026 intake, the Capacity Development Unit (CDU) in Nairobi is seeking a dynamic Intern for Urban Research, Project Management, and Academic Partnerships. This isn't just a line on a resume; it is a high-octane immersion into the "engine room" of sustainable urbanization. Based at the United Nations' only headquarters in the Global South, this role offers an unprecedented opportunity to influence the World Urban Forum 13 (WUF13) and help cities navigate the complexities of the late 2020s.
