International Development Jobs at UNHCR

I never had the opportunity of working directly with the UNHCR but many of my assignments in challenging environments such as Gaza, Timor-Leste and Afghanistan certainly aligned with their work of assisting refugees. See their recent list of postings including the one highlighted here:

The highlighted assignment “Individual Consultancy on Accelerating the Transition of Refugee Education Systems into National Frameworks” starts soon and will run periodically for the duration of 2026. The assignment is home- based but with three short country visits. The deadline for applications is January 29, 2026. If you are an educational planning expert this is your opportunity to make a significant difference in refugee education enhancement worldwide.
