Political Affairs Programme
The Borgen Project is an international organisation that works at the political level to improve living conditions for people impacted by war, famine and poverty. With 20 years of experience in the advocacy space, we have helped pass numerous bills benefiting close to 500 million people in developing countries.
This part‑time programme focuses on making poverty a priority in U.S., Canadian and U.K. foreign policy. It is 12 days per week, 12‑week unpaid remote programme. If your availability is limited, you can work ahead and complete the programme in fewer weeks.
