The Governing Council welcomes, with due regard to the role of the United Nations Volunteers in development cooperation, its strengthened involvement in the humanitarian relief area and in related fields, ranging from capacity-building in disaster prevention, preparedness and mitigation to rehabilitation and reconstruction activities, working with the relevant United Nations bodies and international organizations. In addition the Governing Council requests the Administrator to consider and support ways of securing start-up funding for the early fielding of United Nations Volunteers in time of emergencies, through, in particular, access to the central emergency revolving fund of the Department of Humanitarian Affairs and to other sources.
