UNV specialists

UNV specialists - or simply called UNVs - are professionals with several years of experience in their field of expertise who are selected from the UNV database for specific assignments lasting from 6 months to 2 years. UNVs receive a monthly allowance, medical insurance, and reimbursement of travel and other costs. Around 2/3 of all UN employees started off as UNVs, so it is considered an excellent entry point for qualified professionals without previous experience working for the UN.
