UNV “State of the World’s Volunteerism Report” Launch
The State of the World’s Volunteerism Report 2015 is the first global review of the power of volunteer voices to help improve the way people are governed. Titled “Transforming Governance”, this report draws on evidence from countries as diverse as Brazil, Kenya, Lebanon and Bangladesh, and shows how ordinary people are volunteering their time, energies and skills to improve the way they are governed and engaged at local, national and global levels. Better governance at every level is a pre-requisite for the success of the new set of targets for future international development, the Sustainable Development Goal.
