The activities of the Capacity-building subdivision for support include but are not limited to:

1. Supporting the intergovernmental and negotiations on matters related to capacity-building
2. Supporting the intersessional work of the PCCB
3. Supporting our dedicated capacity-building initiatives, including the Durban Forum, the PCCBs annual focus area, the Capacity-building Hub, the PCCB Network, Youth4Capacity, the Capacitybuilding portal and the Joint Rio Conventions capacity-building programme
4. Supporting the research work in compilation and mapping of capacity gaps and needs, including enhancing the coherence and coordination of capacity-building efforts related to climate change.

As this internship supports multiple projects, interns will support a selection of these activities, depending on the requirements of the team and the experience and interests of the selected candidates. This involves such tasks as:

• Research on capacity gaps and needs and good practices
• Research and drafting inputs for synthesis reports, technical papers and other knowledge products
• Note-taking and summary report writing.
