UNV’s longstanding partnership with Norway advances volunteering for development
The United Nations Volunteers (UNV) programme has a longstanding partnership with Norway, facilitated through the Norwegian Agency for Exchange Cooperation (Norec), an executive body under the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In November 2022, a delegation from Norec visited UNV headquarters in Bonn to discuss the current partnership and future collaboration.
The two partners exchanged on their collaboration on UNV’s Full Funding programme, under which Norec funds UN Volunteer assignments for Norwegian nationals.
Sweden’s catalytic support to UNV delivers lasting impact
A long-term strategic partner of the United Nations Volunteers (UNV) programme, the Swedish International Development Agency (Sida) supports UNV’s mandate and volunteering at large. During annual consultations held in Stockholm, Sweden, in November, Sida and UNV took stock of joint results and reaffirmed continued commitment.
Recognizing Sida’s catalytic support to UNV, the two partners explored ways to further engage in support of the 2030 Agenda for sustainable development.
Sida appreciates UNV as a flexible partner. It is impressive what UNV does and how UNV reports on results, including its digital and data spaces. – Alan AtKisson, Head of Sida’s Department for Partnerships and Innovation
