Partnerships

Partnerships overview

The UN Volunteers programme supports the United Nations, its different programmes and specialized agencies. In some 40 countries, UNV has arrangements with cooperating organizations or national focal points to assist with assessment of candidates, as well as the interviewing and briefing of those selected.


Funding UNV volunteers

The majority of UNV volunteer assignments are funded by UN agencies directly. However, a substantial number (19 per cent in 2005) are funded partly or completely through contributions received directly from donors.
The main methods for receiving these funds are UNV’s Special Voluntary Fund, a co-financing and the full-funding mechanism.  In the latter, donors provide the total costs required to support individual UNV Volunteer assignments. These funds are generally managed through cooperating agencies or organizations that are designated as UNV"s focal point in a country. Cooperating organizations include government agencies (e.g. a country’s ministry of foreign affairs) and national agencies that send volunteers abroad, such as the German Development Service (Deutscher Entwicklungsdienst, DED).
