VOLUNTEERING AND SOCIAL ACTIVISM

World Alliance for Citizen Participation, the International Association for Volunteer Effort (IAVE) and the United Nations Volunteers (UNV) programme commissioned a study in 2007/8 to explore the role of both volunteering and social activism in development. The study involved contributions from all three organisations and drew on inputs from nearly 100 volunteer-involving organisations across 54 countries in all regions across the globe.

The forthcoming joint CIVICUS-IAVE-UNV publication explores the stories of volunteers participating around the world to deepen democracy, facilitate social change, and advance development. It seeks to promote a shared understanding of how different forms of volunteerism contribute to the achievement of local, national and international development objectives, and the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in particular.
