Internships can take place in a UNDP country office/ regional center or at the organization's Headquarters in New York. Assignments vary greatly in terms of content.

Assignments are available on a part-time and full-time basis throughout the year.\" www.undp.org | Opportunities

Scam alert: Be very careful about using employment agencies or anyone else other than the actual UN sites to find a job or internship within the UN. These positions are competitive, so various scams have arisen targetting well-meaning job seekers. Many ask for high, up-front fees; some even ask for your banking info (don't give it!). It's always safest to deal directly with the UN, not a third party.
