On a paper: Selected UN Volunteer will conduct assessments in communities. In reality: 🔸UN Volunteer spends hours building trust. 🔸UN Volunteer hears stories that never make it into a report. 🔸UN Volunteer builds relationships that help people heal and move forward.

#Peacebuilding means: 🛑 Stopping conflict before it starts. 🛑 Giving a platform to everyone, everywhere, especially those who are often ignored. 🛑 Long-term solutions, not quick fixes. UN Volunteers build peace, step by step. #Peacebuilding

Les données racontent une histoire. Les jeunes leur donnent une voix. 💙 Au Tchad 🇹🇩, Zara Vanzou, VNU avec @UNICEFChad , transforme les données U-Report en actions concrètes pour que les voix des jeunes, notamment celles des filles et des réfugiés, soient entendues.

What a difference six months can make: from 1⃣9⃣ countries officially marking the #VolunteerYear to 5⃣5⃣. This #IVY2026, we invite governments, civil society, the private sector and academia to recognize volunteers and invest in the systems that make volunteerism possible.
