UNV Full Funding Programme for Russian citizens

57 volunteers have been selected to serve under the Russia-UNV FF programme since 2018

The United Nations Volunteers (UNV) programme contributes to peace and development through volunteerism worldwide. UNV works 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 is administered by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). UNV mobilizes over 9,000 people annually as volunteers to work at national and international levels.

The UNV Fully Funding (FF) programme is successfully implemented by UNV in cooperation with the donor countries.
