Volunteering to bolster social cohesion in vulnerable communities of Ukraine
In Ukraine, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) has been complementing humanitarian interventions with early recovery approaches. With the support of UN Volunteers, the agency has engaged youth, enabling them to become agents of change in their communities by supporting their social actions and decision-making processes.
Collaborating with partners, coordinating with field offices, drafting project proposals, scheduling actions and deadlines – these tasks are the foundational components of a successful project. However, delivering these tasks efficiently also means analyzing the broader context in which the project unfolds to enhance positive and mitigate potential negative effects on the social fabric.
