The UN Volunteer Conditions of Service

UNV is a unique organization that supports the UN system in mobilizing, advocating for and integrating volunteers in UN activities globally. The Conditions of Service for UN Volunteers constitute the legal framework of the relationship between UNV, UN host entities and the UN Volunteer. Revisions were made in early 2020. In addition, on 1 January 2024, there will be stream-lined age and experience criteria, along with the duration of assignments. 

The current Conditions of Service were informed by consultations through the HR Network in February 2020 and a thorough analysis of all components and corresponding budgetary implications.
