Description

Context of the project:


The World Organization for Animal Health (WOAH), previously known as the "Office international des epizooties" (OIE), was created on 25 January 1924.

Its headquarters are in Paris. The WOAH comprises 182 Member Countries and is present on all continents through 12 (Sub-) Regional Representations.

The WOAH is the intergovernmental organization responsible for improving animal health worldwide, veterinary public health and animal welfare worldwide, as well as transparency of the global animal disease situation.


  • The WOAH is furthermore recognized by the World Trade Organization as the reference organization for intergovernmental standards concerning the sanitary safety of international trade of animals and products of animal origin and zoonoses. The internal control system introduced in 2015 is a key issue for the organization in the context of controlling its activities and resources. It also enables us to respond to the several external audits requested, specifically by WOAH's donors.
  • The proposed internship is part of the strengthening of this internal control system and a great opportunity to be closely involved not only on the strategic aspect (risk analysis) but also on the operational aspect (monitoring the implementation of recommendations) of the system.
