The United Nations has opened more than 40 job and internship opportunities at its Nairobi duty station, offering Kenyans and other qualified professionals the chance to work with the global organisation.
The vacancies are spread across several UN agencies based in Nairobi, including United Nations Environment Programme, UN-Habitat, and the United Nations Office at Nairobi.
The roles on offer range from consultancy positions, programme management officers, data scientists, and other technical experts, to internships designed for young graduates and early-career professionals seeking international experience.
Positions include fixed-term professional roles, consultancy contracts, and entry-level internships.
Applicants are advised to submit their applications through the United Nations careers portal, searching for positions that match their qualifications, clicking “apply” on the job description page, and following the instructions for the online application.
Deadlines vary, with many roles closing between February and March 2026. Some positions may require assessments, tests, or interviews as part of the selection process.
The UN emphasised that all applications must be submitted through its official platform and warned applicants against paying any fees, as the organisation does not charge applicants at any stage of recruitment.
This recruitment drive highlights the diverse work carried out by UN agencies in Nairobi, focusing on areas such as environmental protection, urban development, research, and programme management.
