Paragraph 1, page 33
On the other hand, volunteering both at the central and regional levels has become a tool for the
promotion of environmental education and culture. In this way, citizens, mainly young people,
get involved in actions promoted by their authorities at all levels.
Paragraph 2, page 50
Volunteering: In the design and implementation of the next UNSDCF 2022-2026, it is important to emphasize that volunteering is valued as a strategic tool that adds value to AFP interventions, genuinely involving citizens, which enables the increase in scope, impact and sustainability of UNS interventions. It is pertinent that volunteering is not only considered as a solidarity practice oriented to the common good or the care of populations in situations of vulnerability or exclusion. Volunteering is a strategy that contributes to reducing social gaps, increasing social capital, strengthening citizen values, generating community resilience, among other multiple and diverse contributions to development.
Paragraph 3, page 57
By strengthening effective democratic governance, institutions are strengthened and a modern, effective, decentralized public management and administration is promoted, based on the principles of integrity, transparency and accountability, and centered on people, which in turn facilitates spaces and citizen participation mechanisms, such as volunteering, that promote social cohesion, a strengthened enabling environment for the full exercise of human rights, especially of groups in vulnerable situations, and a strengthened justice system to guarantee prompt, effective, independent justice and that it is accessible, transparent and without discrimination.
