   • excellent health (necessary medical examination);
   • higher education and at least five years of work experience in the specialty. The presence of a technical education is only a plus;

To do this, feel free to go to the international website www.unvolunteers.org in the How to volunteer section (everything is described in detail there). The UN Volunteering Program Center reviews received applications and maintains a database of eligible candidates.

After submitting your application, you should receive a written response within 4-8 weeks.

If within two years you have not received a job assignment, then your candidacy can be stored in the database (at your request), but for this you will need to send the appropriate confirmation, supplemented by any new documents, diplomas or certificates.
