Mission and objectives

The United Nations Volunteers (UNV) programme contributes to peace and development through volunteerism worldwide. We work with partners to integrate qualified, highly motivated and well supported UN Volunteers into development programming and promote the value and global recognition of volunteerism. UNV is administered by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and reports to the UNDP/UNFPA/UNOPS Executive Board. At the country level, UNV Field Units interact with UN entities to strategically and meaningfully integrate volunteerism into the implementation and delivery of their mandates. As part of this process, UNV works with UN entities to identify opportunities where volunteers add specific and unique value to development programmes and peacekeeping missions.

Context

This OV assignment is part of the UNV Pakistan’s efforts to enhance its volunteerism promotion and mobilization efforts. It aims to do this by having a ready pool of visual content pertaining to the UNV offer. Thus, enabling rapid sharing of said content with other UN agencies and potential volunteer partners to apprise them of UN volunteer modalities and associated guidelines / frameworks. This assignment allows OVs to directly contribute to SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals) since their developed content will be utilized to facilitate partnership meetings and initiatives with other UN agencies and key stakeholders.
