One of the important sources of funding enabling UNV to fulfil this unique role is the Special Voluntary Fund. The fund is replenished by voluntary contributions of donor countries and, to a limited extent, organizations.

The Special Voluntary Fund (SVF) is the second most important source of funding for UNV. Projects and programmes around the globe benefit from the generosity of donors who entrust their voluntary contributions to UNV and leave the allocation of these substantial funds at the discretion of our organization. We are keenly aware of the responsibility conferred on us by the willingness of UN Member States and other donors to support our work.

This second UNV Full Funding Report reflects the drive, capacity and innovation that characterized the past two years of the programme. We continue to be inspired by the commitment of our partners, by the dedication and impact of our talented fully funded UN Volunteers, and by the sense of urgency compelled by a new generation of development goals.

The fully funded UN Volunteers featured in this report share that determination. Through the UNV Full Funding Programme, funding partners, host UN partners and UNV offer volunteers an opportunity to share knowledge and gain experience as part of the UN system while addressing a range of development challenges around the world. The Full Funding Programme represents a win-win-win situation for volunteers, funding partners and host communities alike.

I am Mauro from Italy. After serving as a UN Youth Volunteer in The Gambia last year, I now serve as a UNV Human Rights Officer in South Sudan. My main task is to monitor, investigate, and report on human rights violations in Jonglei State, the biggest region of the country. From our base here, we also take part in overnight Integrated Team (IT) Field Missions.

Bor, South Sudan: Mary works for the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS), and she does an important job – she makes sure that our office is neat and clean, allowing us to carry on with our duties in a healthy environment. Mary is a widow who lives at the Protection of Civilians site (PoC) adjacent to the United Nations Mission in the Republic of South Sudan (UNMISS) compound in Bor, Jonglei State, together with her five children, in precarious conditions and unable to leave the camp for fear of her life. We became friends and we started a language exchange.

Volunteerism as building blocks for peacebuilding, how does that work? For starters, volunteerism generates forms of social capital that are indispensable to peacebuilding and plays an important role in strengthening the development of national civilian capacities to address peacebuilding issues.

There are no costs involved. Online volunteers cooperate across the world, without ever leaving their own homes. Online volunteers not only provide valuable skills and expertise. Coming from various backgrounds and cultures, they also bring new ideas and fresh perspectives. And they can help develop capacity in the organizations they work with, training staff, teaching new skills or providing guidance and advice.

Anyone can be an online volunteer via the UNV Online Volunteering service. All they need is a computer, an Internet connection and skills to offer. Online volunteers are professionals, students, homemakers, retirees, people with disabilities and expatriates from across the globe. They all have one thing in common – a commitment to making a real difference to peace and development.
