UNV in China: 30 years of collaboration

UNV is pleased and proud to celebrate 30 years of collaboration with the People's Republic of China. A chronological and thorough overview of the long-standing interaction can report significant progress, as well as a shifting focus toward areas like innovative social technology, greening social engagement and stronger civic participation in China, especially in an affluent-eastern/poorer-western perspective and ethnic minority perspective. Moreover, such a track record can set a benchmark for the future of superior internal social safety nets and protection of vulnerable social groups. UNV's collaboration with China offers yet another example of a fruitful South-South cooperation. Over a hundred Chinese UN Volunteers have served on international missions, while over 300 UN Volunteers have taken on challenges on site in the country. UN Volunteers in China are well on their way to improve volunteer management capacity and share China's experience in volunteerism nationally and internationally.
