The internship programme will be participated by: a) young government officers
who are assigned the responsibilities of international and regional co-operation
in protection of marine environment programmes, and who are interested in
obtaining a better understanding of the United Nations system, and b) young
scientists who are interested in understanding management and implementation of
international and regional projects, to more effectively carry out relevant
research activities to assist with transboundary management of the marine
environment of their country.
The objectives of the Programme are to:
• Upgrade capacities of the Project’s participating countries (China and
Republic of Korea) in management and operation of regional and international
marine environment-related projects;
• Enhance communications between the Project Management Office and relevant
ministries for effective implementation of the Project;
• Facilitate better understanding of the intern in procedures for project
design, approval, implementation, and facilitate improved regional co-operation
between the Project and intern’s original institute; and
• Assist in developing necessary human resources for current and future regional
and international projects and activities on protection of marine environment
and sustainable use of its resources.
