Toily Kurbanov, Executive Coordinator of United Nations Volunteers (UNV) presented the 2025 Annual Report of the Administrator at the Executive Board in New York on 10 June 2026. The Executive Board consists of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS).

Mr. Chair,

Distinguished delegates,

This is the fifth time I have the privilege of presenting the annual report of UNV to the Executive Board.

First time when I was presenting in 2021, I was given 20 minutes to allow more time for dialogue among the Member States. The following year, it became 15 minutes, then 10, and now I have only five. I look forward to the challenge the board will set for me next year.
