UNV and UNDP Accelerator Lab team up to develop volunteering prototype for accelerating development
When looking at the context in Latin America and the Caribbean, where 67.5 per cent of volunteer work is informal, the question that arises is: How can volunteering help power development and respond to local challenges? The United Nations Volunteers (UNV) programme and the UN Development Programme (UNDP) Argentina Accelerator Lab (Co_Lab) teamed up to learn how.
The 21st century has featured unprecedented challenges and technological development. Volunteering provides great opportunities towards the advancement of the SDGs agenda and, hence, doing a critical analysis of its future perspectives is very important.
