Reporting the impact of volunteering to achieve the Agenda 2030

The Voluntary National Reviews (VNRs) are the way in which countries report to the United Nations on the progress they are making on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Not enough countries include volunteering in their VNRs, mainly because there is too little recognition by governments of the important role volunteering plays in achieving the goals.

Analyzing examples and advancements made so far, this session will explore how incorporating evidence on volunteering on the VNRs is imperative to highlight citizen participation and engagement, demonstrating pathways and processes for leaving no one behind. 

Join Volunteer Groups Alliance, United Nations Volunteers, France Volontaires, NOREC and IAVE for this important session on how we can effectively include volunteering in our VNRs.
