Reporting positive contribution of volunteering to the SDGs
Paragraph 1, page 44
Backed up by a targeted regulatory development and awareness-raising action (e.g. “Pick it Up!”, a voluntary waste collection campaign for a Clean Hungary since 2011), the result is a continuous increase in recycled municipal waste, with a simultaneous decrease in disposed waste.
Paragraph 2, page 72
Impact 2030 led by Volunteering Hungary - Centre of Social Innovation (“ÖKA”) is a private sector-led initiative, with the unique mission to activate human capital investments through employee volunteer programs to advance the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. Although direct linkages between these initiatives and SDGs have not been assessed yet, they also support the SDGs.
Paragraph 3, page 60
The importance of promoting peaceful, resilient, and inclusive societies by strengthening national institutions through international cooperation is highlighted in the IDC activities of our country as well. The training event entitled “Supporting the culture of legal volunteering in the Republic of Moldova based on the Hungarian model” was attended by lawyers, academics, and non-governmental organizations interested in legal education. The aim of the project was actively to involve lawyers, attorneys’ chambers, law faculties, and civil society actors in the development of innovative forms of cooperation (pro bono projects, legal education, etc.).
