Description
The United Nations Volunteers programme (UNV) was created by the General Assembly of the United Nations in 1970 to serve as an operational partner in development cooperation at the request of UN member states. It is unique within the UN family and as an international volunteer undertaking. It reports to the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and works through UNDP's country offices around the world. There are about 4,000 qualified, experienced and motivated women and men of over 140 nationalities annually serving in developing countries as volunteer specialists and field workers. The UNV programme involves a wide spread of sectors: it maintains a roster covering some 108 professional categories. Agriculture, health and education feature prominently, as do social conditions, community development, vocational training, industry, transport and population.
