General Information
It has been over thirteen years since the first internship at the KHRC took place. The Internship programme first carried in 1992 has been a resounding success as attested by the end internship reports submitted by the different National and International Interns that have participated in the Programme. The aim of the internship programme is to contribute to the training of young human rights workers. The programme intends to:
- Increase the intern’s understanding of current human rights issues at the community, national, regional and international level and give them an insight into the work of the Kenya Human Rights Commission;
- Provide the KHRC mechanisms and assistants with the assistances and contributions of outstanding young students.
The relationship between the organization and the intern is one of mutual benefit. Interns are assigned to a project according programme needs and their own areas of interest. They are involved, inter alia in; researching human rights issues, drafting analytical papers and reports, providing substantive and technical servicing of meetings, back-stopping fact-finding missions as well as field operations and supporting other KHRC activities depending on programme needs. As part of the internship programme, the KHRC endeavors to brief interns through a series of information sessions on human rights issues conducted by staff of the office.

Purpose of Internship
Each year, we host interns drawn from our six partner communities, universities and other tertiary institutions in Kenya as well as other countries. The interns are generally young people who are still in college or have recently graduated and have the keen interest to learn more about human rights and acquire a practical experience.
The internship programme enables aspiring human rights activists to master the dynamics in human rights work and acquire relevant experience in the various programs at the Commission - fact-finding, documentation and reporting, human rights education and advocacy. This equips them with adequate knowledge to address human rights concerns and violations in the country.
Internship recruitment is on a bi-annual basis. The KHRC also welcomes international interns to work during the summer, usually between May – August.

Researcher Jobs in Nairobi Kenya
Researcher Jobs in Nairobi Kenya - Amnesty International: In order to be
effective, Amnesty International’s (AI) International Secretariat needs
to adapt to that change. That’s why we’re opening a hub in Nairobi. And
why we need your research expertise with us on the ground.
About the role
Sudan, Democratic Republic of Congo, East Africa, South Sudan – each of
these regions faces a number of extreme human rights issues.
Issues like a lack of freedom of expression and association, forced
evictions, international injustice, as well as abuses in both the
criminal justice system and armed conflict. In order to get the word out
about these violations, we need expertly developed research and
campaigning strategies.
And in one of four region specific roles, that’s exactly what you’ll
deliver. As well as developing bespoke research projects and strategies,
you’ll lead, monitor, research and investigate into human rights
developments yourself – both at your desk and in the field.
Ready to lead assessments of crisis situations and able to prepare
thorough security assessments and political briefings, you’ll work as
part of a team to make sure our hub research function is as flexible as
it is effective.
You’ll also understand that building a strong contact network and
representing AI externally are central to ensuring your research has
impact, as is the credibility and accuracy of your reports.
About you
A tried-and-tested human rights researcher, you’ll have specialist
knowledge of your specific region and thematic areas - either Kenya and
Uganda, DRC and the Great Lakes Region, Sudan or South Sudan – plus a
well-developed understanding of human rights issues and the political
landscape in the sub-region.
You’ll have proven your ability to write and adapt research materials
for a range of audiences too, and be confident communicating AI’s
message externally, both in English and, depending on your role,
Kiswahili, French or Arabic too.
In addition to your meticulous research skills and sharp political
judgement, you’ll know how to engage with survivors of human rights
abuses.
You’ll be an effective multi-tasker able to meet deadlines and manage
priorities, and know how to work effectively in a team. Crucially,
you’ll have an unwavering committed to human rights.
About us
Our aim is simple: an end to human rights abuses. Independent,
international and influential, we campaign for justice, freedom and
truth wherever they’re denied.
Already our network of over three million members and supporters is making a difference in 150 countries.
And whether we’re applying pressure through powerful research or direct
lobbying, mass demonstrations or online campaigning, we’re all inspired
by hope for a better world.
One where human rights are respected and protected by everyone, everywhere.
