UNHCR often carries out projects for which it invites external consultants, non-governmental organizations or specialized entities to bring their expertise and realize a specific project task. 

These vary from carrying out a research, developing a training, preparing a case study or monitoring reception conditions (like health care) of asylum-seekers, depending on the actual projects and operational needs. 

The exact terms and conditions of an assignment are laid down in the respective call. Interested individuals and entities are invited to submit their proposal by the date and hour indicated. Late submissions are not considered.
