These impacts are disproportionately experienced by adolescent girls and young women, internally displaced persons, and persons with disabilities, especially in climate-affected provinces such as Zambézia. UNDP Mozambique is implementing an emergency programme that supports restoration of essential services, strengthens district-level systems, and integrates advocacy, communication, and community engagement as core components of effective service delivery. Within this context, UNDP seeks a Field Communications Intern based in Quelimane to support community-level communication, documentation, and feedback processes that contribute to inclusive, rights-based, and accountable programme implementation.
