VACANCY ANNOUNCEMENT
The
United Nations Volunteers (UNV) programme is the UN organization that
promotes volunteerism to support peace and development worldwide.
Volunteerism can transform the pace and nature of development and it
benefits both society at large and the individual volunteer. UNV
contributes to peace and development by advocating for volunteerism
globally, encouraging partners to integrate volunteerism into
development programming, and mobilizing volunteers.
In
most cultures volunteerism is deeply embedded in long-established,
ancient traditions of sharing and support within the communities. In
this context, UN Volunteers take part in various forms of volunteerism
and play a role in development and peace together with co-workers, host
agencies and local communities.
In
all assignments, UN Volunteers promote volunteerism through their
action and conduct. Engaging in volunteer activity can effectively and
positively enrich their understanding of local and social realities, as
well as create a bridge between themselves and the people in their host
community. This will make the time they spend as UN Volunteers even more
rewarding and productive.
