During the UNDP/UNFPA/UNOPS Executive Board Annual Session 2014, several Members States and some of UNV's partners delivered positive statements about UNV and its contributions to peace and development.
Positive feedback about UNV and its contributions to peace and development contributed in turn to UNV's successful engagement with the UNDP/UNFPA/UNOPS Executive Board at its Annual Session 2014, held from 23-27 June in Geneva, Switzerland. Executive Board Member States of Brazil, China, Germany (endorsed by Ireland), Japan, Mexico, Nepal, Niger, the Russian Federation and Tanzania delivered statements during the session.
