Program Overview

Step into a Business Development & Data Internship in Uganda where you’ll collaborate with local communities and industry leaders to immerse yourself in research and data management activities. Interns will take part in surveys, dashboards, reporting, and data visualization tasks that directly inform team activities, giving you practical exposure to the tools and systems.

The data you help collect and organize feeds directly into digital MEL systems, improving transparency and learning. By generating baseline evidence on energy, WASH, and livelihoods, your work informs program adjustments and strengthens community impact. You’ll be encouraged to ask questions, share ideas, and contribute to planning, documentation, and communication tasks, helping you gain both technical skills and professional confidence. Beyond the work, you’ll engage with Ugandan culture, witness local customs, experience local traditions, and cuisine.
