Information Session Video Recording, dated 28 March 2022

UNFPA, the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), is an international development agency that works to deliver a world where every pregnancy is wanted, every child birth is safe and every young person’s potential is fulfilled.

As part of a project entitled “YOUTH LEADS” aims to improve Palestinian youth's contribution to economic, social, and public life. UNFPA is supporting the Palestinian Authority and other stakeholders to improve youth’s engagement and utilization of volunteering opportunities and learning. Young Palestinians are relatively active as informal volunteers and are often supported in their activities by small-scale NGO programmes, universities and similar, but rarely scaled up or formalized. The Palestinian government recognizes the importance of introducing legislation to promote volunteering, which would enable greater support systems for formal volunteering to grow, including greater incentives for volunteerism, funding, and data collection to monitor the impact of volunteerism in Palestine.

The online platform consultancy will upgrade the existing electronic website owned by the Higher Council for Youth & Sports (https://palestinevolunteers.org ) which is in need of a significant update. This entails the update of the existing volunteer database/platform, hosted by the HCYS, to provide a variety of volunteer and internship placements available. As such, young people will be able to apply to a wide range of opportunities based on their interests and qualifications.
