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. UNV has five Regional Offices in Amman (Arab States, Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States), Bangkok (Asia and the Pacific), Dakar (West and Central Africa), Nairobi (East and Southern Africa) and Panama City (Latin America and the Caribbean). The regional offices are the first entry point for partners wishing to engage with UNV. They offer UNV services and solutions to government partners, UN entities, civil society and the private sector, and takes the lead in scoping and delivering UNV advisory services on volunteer infrastructure. They also provide oversight and strategic guidance to UNV’s field units in the regions.

Context

The State of the World’s Volunteerism Report (SWVR) is UNV’s flagship publication, showcasing volunteerism’s transformative impact worldwide. The 2025 edition focuses on the critical theme of volunteerism measurement, emphasizing innovation, inclusivity, and global connection. Designers will play a pivotal role in shaping the report’s visual identity, ensuring it resonates with audiences and effectively communicates its groundbreaking findings. This is a unique chance to contribute to a global publication that highlights the essence of volunteerism. The visual identity you create will become the hallmark of the SWVR 2025 edition, seen by a global audience across multiple platforms. The contest fosters creativity and global collaboration, inviting designers to innovate while staying aligned with the SWVR’s mission.
