Knowledge Management Intern

Regional Impact: Be the lead support architect of the first-ever integrated Energy Transition Knowledge Hub for South Asia, directly supporting the data needs of seven national governments. Strategic Networking: Work at the center of a high-level coalition, engaging with major international financial institutions (IFIs), UN agencies, and private sector RE developers. Platform Incubation: Play a pivotal role in a "start-up" environment within the UN, helping to build the evidence base and donor relationships required to scale a multi-million dollar regional platform.

The Asia Pacific Regional Office, based in Bangkok, Thailand, provides strategic leadership and oversight for UNOPS operations across 17 countries, ensuring high performance, operational excellence, and alignment with organizational goals. Operations currently span Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Myanmar, Nepal, Papua New Guinea, Pakistan, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Vietnam, and the Pacific Islands. Across these countries, we work closely with key stakeholders to strengthen partnerships and maximize impact through five main operating units: Afghanistan (AFCO), Myanmar (MMCO), South Asia Multi-Country Office (SAMCO), East Asia and Pacific Multi-Country Office (EAPMCO), and the Asia Regional Health Cluster (ARHC). Through these entities, we provide agile, client-focused service delivery across diverse sectors - including infrastructure, health, procurement, and project management - supporting the implementation of sustainable development solutions across the region.

The South Asia Multi-Country Office (SAMCO) supports UNOPS operations across six countries: Bangladesh, India, the Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. SAMCO delivers a broad range of services and technical expertise in climate change, water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), infrastructure, procurement, human resource management, and fund management. Each country office is staffed with local technical experts and maintains strong partnerships with national governments, ensuring context-specific solutions and effective project implementation.

South Asia is at a critical juncture in its energy evolution. While the region’s economies are growing rapidly, energy systems remain heavily reliant on fossil fuels, leading to rising emissions and high vulnerability to climate-induced disasters. To address these challenges, UNOPS SAMCO and Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL) have launched the South Asia Energy Transition Collaborative Platform (SA-ETCP). The platform is currently in its "Design and Inception Phase" (2026). During this period, the ETCP is not yet conducting on-the-ground interventions; instead, it is focused on building a "Regional Knowledge Hub." This hub is a web-based repository designed to harmonize fragmented data, map stakeholder initiatives (such as those by the World Bank and ADB), and provide a "one-stop-shop" for energy trans...
