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. World Vision Canada provides five interns with an opportunity to work in Bangladesh, Laos and Malawi over the course of one year. The interns work in the areas of securing the futures of children and youth, child protection and advocacy, and food security focusing on health and nutrition. They contribute to the Child Protection and Health and Nutrition Projects in Bangladesh. In Laos they support the development of the Education Technical Approach and Advocacy Community Engagement. In Malawi the intern supports other nutrition projects.
