Online Mapping Support on Volunteerism in China

Details

Mission and objectives

The United Nations Volunteers is the UN organization that supports sustainable human development globally through the promotion of volunteerism, including the mobilization of volunteers. It serves the causes of peace and development through enhancing opportunities for participation by all peoples. It is universal, inclusive and embraces volunteer action in all its diversity. It values free will, commitment, engagement and solidarity, which are the foundations of volunteerism.

Context

The United Nations Volunteers (UNV) programme contributes to peace and development through volunteerism worldwide. We work with partners to integrate qualified, highly motivated and well supported UN Volunteers into development programming and promote the value and global recognition of volunteerism. To that end, UNV China is seeking to collaborate with Online Volunteers to provide support in data collection and brief writing to support its effort in promoting and mobilizing volunteerism in China. The collaboration would also support UNV China in mapping the volunteering needs of UN partners and tracking the volunteerism landscape development in China.

Task description

UNV China is looking to engage Online Volunteers to support in:
– collecting information related to the United Nations’ priorities and volunteerism updates in China through news, reports, data, and other relevant platforms.
– writing a brief based on the gathered information per week, of approximately 1,500 words.
The briefing will be used as a regular reference on strategic planning and evidence/cases/data searching.
