The partnership between the United Nations Volunteers (UNV) programme and the Republic of Korea dates back to 1986. The Republic of Korea is UNV’s largest Full Funding programme partner. The partnership is managed through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA).
Korea was one of the 124 co-sponsors of the UN General Assembly resolution on Volunteering for the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (A/C.3/73/L.13) in 2018. Korea also actively supports the promotion of volunteerism and participated in the 2019 Asian Regional Consultation on the Plan of Action for Integrating Volunteerism into the Agenda 2030 as a guest speaker in the session 'Volunteering for and by Senior citizens'.
