What to Expect

Caritas Switzerland is a humanitarian organisation engaged in development cooperation and emergency response, with a strong focus on data-driven programme management and evidence-based projects.

During this internship, you will support the design and implementation of data collection tools (e.g. using KoboToolbox or ODK), contribute to data cleaning and validation, and assist in maintaining structured datasets for programme indicators. You will also support basic data analysis and the development of dashboards or visualisations (e.g. using Power BI or Tableau) to communicate key findings. The focus is on strengthening data workflows and ensuring data quality rather than working with highly complex or production-level systems. Throughout the internship, you will contribute to improving how data is collected, analysed, and used for programme learning and decision-making.
