UN Volunteers are motivated and engaged SDG accelerators who make an impact during their assignments. Host entities can engage UN Volunteers in a flexible, fast and cost-effective way.
UNV provides operational capacity to deliver relevant talent solutions to meet your business needs globally.
The Conditions of Service (COS) establish the principles and specific terms and conditions that govern the service for UN Volunteers and, as such, are an extension of the volunteer contract which the UN Volunteers sign with UNV.
