How youth contribute to sustainable solutions in Sri Lanka
"The active role played by UN Volunteers in supporting their communities, especially in times of crises, shows how young people can lead and become agents of change. Their involvement is essential if we are to achieve the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development." The words of Ramaaya Salgado, Country Focal Point at UN Women in Sri Lanka, attest loud and clear to the positive contribution of UN Volunteers in Sri Lanka's peace and development.
