Plan of Action 2016-2030 for integrating volunteering into peace and development

The UN Resolution "Integrating volunteering into peace and development: the plan of action for the next decade and beyond", adopted by consensus by the UN General Assembly in November 2015, recognizes that volunteering can be a powerful means of implementation for the SDGs.

What is the Plan of Action?

The Plan of Action for Integrating Volunteerism into the 2030 Agenda is a framework under the auspices of the United Nations (UN). Civil society organizations, the UN and other stakeholders come together to strengthen people’s ownership of the 2030 Agenda; systematically integrate volunteering in national strategies and policies; and measure the impact of volunteering. It engages stakeholders to convene dialogues and generate evidence to enhance the knowledge base on how volunteerism can be reimagined for the SDGs.
