Volunteering integrated into the narrative text of the UNSDCF

Paragraph 1, page 44

Platforms, such as the UN Global Compact, the SDG Civil Society Forum as well as international and national volunteer schemes and engagement mechanisms, will help attract new ideas, connections and/or implementing partners to accompany actions under each priority area, from design to measurement and reporting. 

Paragraph 2, page 49

These will take the shape of national public-private and civil society dialogue
platforms as well as volunteer groups bringing together policy, business and civil society
leaders, particularly among youth communities. 

Paragraph 3, page 51

Considering that universal access to these public services is already guaranteed
by law, the UNCT will support change(s) by identifying improved service delivery models,
volunteer mechanisms and establishing standard operating procedures and technical
skills for civil servants to target vulnerable groups. 

Paragraph 4, page 52

Finally, nongovernmental organizations will be invited to take the lead in setting up the dialogue agenda on public participation in decision-making and volunteerism for development, provide supplementary social services to vulnerable populations, as well as support to communities affected by conflict.
