UNICEF has a great mandate, they do fantastic work implementing programs that are actually impactful. Acquired good knowledge and understanding of how the UN works and a lot of useful skills related to the development programs.

Cons

Job insecurity, instability. No compensation, benefits for consultants (aka non-staff), who carry out the work of staff. Poor management. Highly hierarchical and bureaucratic institution.

Pros

Working at the UN was an amazing experience, being able to take part in such a significant mission was great.

Cons

As I was not a full-time volunteer and was also responsible for fundraising in my territory, I felt that I did not receive the same treatment as the other volunteers. It was a challenging role and experience, and at times it felt like my well-being was not fully considered.
