This project is part of the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development (DFATD) International Youth Internship Program (IYIP), funded by the Government of Canada's Youth Employment Strategy (YES). The IYIP contributes to the YES by providing a large spectrum of Canadian graduates with valuable international development work experience abroad, needed to launch successful careers. The Canadian Bar Association's Young Lawyers Internship Program provides 40 young Canadian lawyers with internships in nine countries: South Africa, Namibia, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Guyana, Bangladesh, Nepal and Vietnam. Interns support partners to enhance rule of law, access to justice and human rights.
