Mission and objectives

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.

Context

UNV Tokyo Liaison Office (TLO) has collaborated with multiple Japanese partners to implement the full funding programmes that deploy talented Japanese nationals to different UN offices across the world for sustainable peace and development. Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) is one of TLO’s longstanding partners. TLO in collaboration with MOFA has long implemented a human resource development programme where young Japanese professionals enhance their knowledge and skills through UN Volunteer assignments to support UN organizations’ activities for peace and development. As a part of the programme, TLO will publish volunteer stories in a form of a short report. This report will aim to improve the visibility of deployed Japanese UN Volunteers and amplify their voices through communication platforms such as publishing volunteer stories on UNV’s and the partners’ website.
