The Volunteer Learning Strategy addresses issues identified through a comprehensive Learning Needs Assessment, carried out in 2013. The Strategy lays out the foundation for competency development within UNV. It applies to all
UN Volunteers, under the different modalities and sets UNV on a path to become a learning organization. The Strategy mirrors the phases of the volunteer management cycle, looking at the soft and hard skills necessary to promote volunteerism and to carry out the assignment, and contributing to learning for the
professional life.

UNV will adopt multiple learning methods and approaches, including blended learning, which is comprised of online and face-to-face training. Considering the challenge given the geographic distribution of UN Volunteers and the cost
implications, the possibility of diversifying learning through online opportunities, will allow them to study remotely and at their own pace, and share their experience through online discussions or face-to-face learning events.
