Plan of Action to Integrate Volunteering into the 2030 Agenda

The Plan of Action to Integrate Volunteering into the 2030 Agenda is a framework under the auspices of the United Nations (UN) through which governments, volunteer-involving organizations, UN agencies, private sector, civil society, and academia come together to strengthen people’s ownership of the 2030 Agenda; integrate volunteering in national strategies and policies; and measure the contribution of volunteering to the SDGs.

Engaging Stakeholders. Facilitating Dialogues. Gathering Evidence.

The Plan of Action brings together diverse voices and builds a coalition among governments and others to leverage existing knowledge, skills and capacities in different communities and countries and strengthen the evidence base on volunteerism for development. The Plan of Action also provides opportunities for stakeholders to share knowledge and to identify mutual priorities for support.
