UN Volunteers address food insecurity and build resilience against recurrent climate-induced shocks
Global development efforts will not be successful without the meaningful participation of young people. As we mark International Youth Day 2021, under the theme "Transforming Food Systems: Youth Innovation for Human and Planetary Health", we reflect on the service of six young and talented UN Volunteers, focusing on the difference they are making through their assignments with WFP in Sri Lanka.
UN Volunteers Frans Elinder (Sweden), Sohee Lee (South Korea), Usitha Rajeevan, Prabuddha Boralugoda, Sanaaree Manoratna, and Sathsara Deyalage (Sri Lanka), are from different countries and regions but have one thing in common: they are all serving with the World Food Programme (WFP) in Sri Lanka.
