Background/ Anera Summary:
Since 1968, Anera has helped refugees and others hurt by conflicts in Palestine, Lebanon and Jordan live with purpose and hope.
Anera, which has no political or religious affiliation, works on the ground with partners in Palestine (West Bank and Gaza), Lebanon and Jordan. We mobilize resources for immediate emergency relief and for sustainable, long-term health, education, and economic development. Our staff serve in their communities, navigating the politics that constrict progress to get help where it’s needed most.
That’s how Anera received more than $171 million in support of programs in 2023 alone, and it’s how
we will keep building better lives until hope finds its way in the Middle East.

Objective of the Internship
The primary objective of this internship is to gain a comprehensive understanding of program and activity implementation beyond service delivery. The intern will develop insight into the types of donor agreements, reporting requirements, and compliance mechanisms required to operate effectively in complex humanitarian and development contexts. The internship will also offer exposure to operational challenges in multi-country programs and the strategies used to identify and implement effective, compliant solutions.
The internship will also provide practical experience in copy editing and reporting, enabling the intern to contribute to high-quality documentation and donor-ready reporting materials.

Scope of Internship

• Support the development and refinement of internal trackers, process maps, and tools to enhance program implementation efficiency.
