The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) partners with the United Nations Volunteers (UNV) to respond to the plight of Palestinian refugees.
How does the recruitment of UN Volunteers add value to UNRWA?
As an efficient, speedy and diverse talent solution for UN partners, UN Volunteers serve with UN entities to bring people to the forefront of development, peace and humanitarian issues. UNV manages a pool of over 350,000 talented and qualified UN Volunteers who can be deployed to bolster the delivery of UNRWA’s programmes and support the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
UN Volunteers provide primary and vocational education in schools for refugees in Lebanon, facilitate primary health care, relief and social services, promote protection and emergency response, support camp infrastructure, bridge social and gender gaps and encourage the development of Palestinian refugees on both a national and community level.
