The West Africa Civil Society Institute (WACSI) is a regional non-governmental organisation dedicated to enhancing the capacities of civil society organisations in West Africa toward greater sustainability and operational and development effectiveness. 

 As part of its effort to deepen engagement with broader civil society organisation platforms in Nigeria, WACSI established a nodal office (WACSI Node) in Abuja in November 2022 to cater for the capacity strengthening needs of civil society groups and formations in the country. 

WACSI is therefore looking for an intern interested in enhancing his/her civic consciousness and developing his/her professional capacity. The intern will be embedded in WACSI’s core areas of work and will be responsible for providing the necessary support in the planning and implementation of the Institute’s activities in WACSI Node Nigeria.

Benefits

The institute will support interns with a monthly stipend. 

The successful intern will spend a substantial part of her/his internship at the WACSI office in Abuja, Nigeria.
