In 2022, a historic number of 131 Chinese nationals served as UN Volunteers with 23 UN partners in 28 countries. Of these, 64 per cent (or 84) served as national UN Volunteers in China and 19 per cent (or 25) were fully funded by the Government of China. Twelve UN entities hosted 87 UN Volunteers in China, 68 per cent of them female and 34 per cent youth.  Meet some of these volunteers in the below video.

My name is Yukari Kanamori. I believe that partnerships between the public and private sectors are integral to meeting the challenge of sustainable development. As a UN Volunteer, I contributed to a partnership between the private sector and the United Nations, addressing, in particular, the digital divide affecting women and girls. My assignment was fully funded by the Government of Japan, through the Human Resource Development Programme for Peacebuilding and Development.
