SDG 10: Reduced inequalities
つまり、各国政府は、予算項目に記載されることのない“事実上の国家ボランティア隊”をすでに抱えていると言えます。市民は保健福祉、教育支援、災害対応、社会的ケアなどの公共財を、行政データには現れない形で共に生み出しています。近年多くの国の制度は、この市民の努力を見えない偶発的なものとして扱うのではなく、積極的に認識し連携しようとする方向へと変化しつつあります。2025年には23か国がボランティアが持続可能な開発目標（SDGs）に与える前向きな影響を、国連に提出した「2030アジェンダ」に関する自発的国家レビュー（VNR）の中で認めました。しかし、その規模と重要性にもかかわらず、ボランティア活動に関する質の高い比較可能なデータは依然として不足しています。各国のデータは断続的であり、定義も大きく異なり、非公式なボランティア活動は体系的に過小評価されているのです。

The response was cautious, as some felt volunteerism was too intangible or rooted in solidarity to be captured by indicators, almost as if measuring it would devalue its contribution to a mere metric. I understood the hesitation, but I also knew that if something is not measured, it is too easily overlooked—and if it is overlooked, it is rarely recognized. After all, as the saying goes: “if you don’t count it, it doesn’t count”.

“Ecuador is marked by a long history of exclusion of Indigenous peoples and fragile intercultural dialogue, which continues to generate tensions,” Noémie explains. “Despite the Constitution recognizing the country as intercultural and plurinational, there is still a limited understanding of what these concepts truly mean, both in principle and in practice”.

في واقع الأمر، تترأس الدول وحكوماتها بالفعل "فيلقاً وطنياً للمتطوعين" دون وجود بند خاص لهم في ميزانياتها. فالمواطنون يشاركون بنشاط في إنتاج سلع عامة —مثل التوعية الصحية، ودعم التعليم، والاستجابة للكوارث، والرعاية الاجتماعية— دون أن يظهروا في البيانات الإدارية. وتستعد المؤسسات الوطنية بشكل متزايد للاعتراف بهذا الجهد والعمل معه بدلاً من اعتباره أمراً غير مرئي أو عرضي.

实际上，各国及其政府已然掌握了一支身体力行的全国性的“志愿者队伍”，而财政预算中却没有相应的开支项目；公民正在积极地联手生产健康宣传、教育支持、灾害应对和社会关怀等公共产品——但这些成果却并未出现在行政数据中。如今，越来越多国家的机构不再将其视为无形或偶发的事件，而是开始对这股力量予以正视和配合。2025年，23个国家在联合国关于2030年议程的《自愿国家审查报告》中承认了志愿者对可持续发展目标的积极影响。尽管志愿服务规模宏大且意义重大，但关于志愿服务的高质量、可比性数据仍然稀缺。各国数据往往是零散的，定义差异很大，大量非正式志愿服务行为因为统计体系的固有缺陷未能被计入其中。在缺乏可验证证据的情况下，各国政府一边颂扬“志愿精神”，一边依赖零散的调查或直觉去理解它。志愿服务并非技术注脚，而是亟待填补的政策空白。在制定有效社会保障、危机响应及社会凝聚力提升战略时，如果对公民贡献的真实图景缺乏清晰认知，将直接导致国家核心资产配置失当、管理低效。在此背景下，《世界志愿服务状况报告》的几项发现显得尤具现实指导意义且可立即付诸实践。

Во всем мире, страны и их правительства по сути располагают национальными «корпусами волонтеров» — но без соответствующей статьи в бюджетах. Граждане активно участвуют в создании общественных благ — но без отражения в административных данных.
