A. DEVELOPMENT IMPACT
30
49. UNV’s envisioned development impact is to bring more people to actively engage with peace and development actions globally. When people, as volunteers from different backgrounds, genders and ages are placed in peace and development interventions, they individually and collectively contribute to building capacities for delivering peace and development results. With more volunteers and volunteerism being better integrated into development processes, societies will become more cohesive and stable, with enhanced collective objectives and well-being. This Strategy intentionally focuses UNV programmatic efforts in five key areas; four thematic ones which directly contribute to Outcome 1 and one that contributes directly to Outcome 2. Through deliberate and considered partnerships with UN entities, UNV will leverage and mobilize its technical expertise and knowledge, through all UN Volunteer modalities, to effect transformational impact and change in communities. By helping to strengthen the capacities of UN entities to deliver sustainable results, and by accompanying National Governments to create enabling environments for more people to come together to eradicate poverty, sustain peace and address development inequalities, UNV will contribute to more equitable and broad based development progress.
