Introduction
ERRA is pleased to announce the launch of the "ERRA Interns
- Volunteers Programme (EIVP)". National and international students, graduates, academics
and experienced professionals are invited to serve as interns and volunteers to
contribute time, knowledge and skills to the post-disaster reconstruction and rehabilitation
of the earthquake affected areas (EQAA) in Pakistan.
Working in both ERRA Headquarters and the EQAA for field assignments, participants
will have a unique opportunity to make a significant and valued contribution to
the organizational capacity of one of the largest and most important reconstruction
and rehabilitation projects worldwide and further enhance their own expertise and
experience. ERRA's projects involve
twelve major programme sectors ranging from seismically-resistant rural housing,
urban and town planning, building of public and community physical and social infrastructure
to social protection of vulnerable groups and tourism development.
Participants in the EIVP will also have the opportunity to interact with a diverse
group of ERRA stakeholders and communities to gain an in-depth understanding of
the social change taking place.

ERRA invites students, graduates and experienced professionals from diverse industry
and academic sectors from Pakistan and overseas, to apply for the EIVP based at
ERRA Headquarters in Islamabad, Pakistan. Some interns and volunteers may
be assigned to field operations. For those who are unable to travel to Pakistan,
a limited number of on-line assignments are included in the programme as well.
