Candidates are requested to carefully review the minimum requirements for advertised posts before submitting an application. Minimum requirements are indicated in each vacancy announcement. Due to the volume of applications received only those candidates who are under serious consideration will be contacted.

When applying for a vacancy announcement, candidates will generally need to submit a CV and/ or a Personal History Form (P11).

UNV volunteers are recruited separately. For more information on serving as a UNV volunteer and applying for UNV volunteer assignments see the How to Volunteer section.

UNDP and UNV, as a matter of practice, do not charge any application, processing or training fee at any stage of the recruitment process. If you have any questions as to vacancy announcements you may have received, please refer to this website.

UNDP and UNV are currently aware of fictitious vacancy announcements that are being circulated through the internet which ask you to remit a fee before you can be given a UNV position or  before you can register for training. If you believe that you have received such a notice, please forward it, and any other related information you have received, to scamalert@undp.org. Since logos, emblems, names and addresses can be easily copied or reproduced, you are advised to take particular care in applying for vacancies, including undertaking all appropriate measures to protect against the unauthorised use of any personal information you may have provided as a result of the scam.
