National Expert / Team of Experts - "Study “The State of Volunteerism in Moldova”
Vacancy Number: 153 /BRC-2008
Background:
United Nation Volunteers (UNV) has been participating in development initiatives in the newly formed independent states of Central Asia, Eastern Europe and the Balkans since the early nineties.
The potential for UNV intervention in the region is promising. However, there is a need for further development programming and expanding the scope of voluntary activities as such.
Because of this reason UNV, together with UNDP Bratislava Regional Centre (UNDP BRC), launched a joint initiative called “Promoting Volunteerism for Development (V4D) in Europe and CIS”, which aims to:
- Refine the focus within identified thematic priorities for UNV involvement and support in Europe and CIS and explore potential sub-regional and regional cross-linkages and synergies;
- Initiate a wider debate on V4D opportunities and current practices and identify relevant strategic partnerships (with NGOs, governments, private sector, other UN agencies) for joint-initiatives promoting volunteerism and enhancing its recognition in the region;
- Advocate for the support to the mobilisation of volunteers in the region in order to promote civic engagement and sustainable human development;
- Formulate an evidence-based regional programme and mobilise partners to support its implementation.
