About Cloneshouse Internship Programme
The Cloneshouse Internship Programme is a practical learning and professional development initiative designed to equip young professionals with hands-on experience, ethical grounding, and relevant skills in Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL), Business Development, Evidence Generation, and Impact Technology.
Delivered by Cloneshouse Foundation in collaboration with Cloneshouse LLC, a specialised MEL firm, the programme bridges theory and practice by giving interns exposure to real assignments, technical mentorship, and professional workflows. Through this learning ecosystem, CIP strengthens local capacity, develops a pipeline of emerging development professionals, and prepares participants to contribute meaningfully to evidence-informed decision-making, accountability, and sustainable development.
