United Nations partners

Upon request of the United Nations agencies, UNV mobilizes around 6,500 UN Volunteers who work on development projects and humanitarian and peacekeeping operations every year.

Engineers and workers are part of this US $14 million project to facilitate the removal of debris of destroyed homes and other civic infrastructure in the Gaza Strip, State of Palestine. Four female engineers are also part of this programme as national UN Volunteers helping to rebuild Gaza, including Mona Ouda (left) and Diana Abu Ramadan, national UN Volunteers with UNDP’s rubble removal programme.
