Strategically, @VSO_Intl continues to lead on developing national volunteering policy in 9 countries across Africa and South Asia. Community volunteers were actively involved in the process and played pivotal role in ensuring that the policies are inclusive. #ivco2021

[VSO People @VSOPeople]

There is need to be practical in shift like quality of recruitment, time and conditions, duty of care etc. The need to accelerate change rather than going backwards. It is essential to make #CommunityVolunteers visible and central part of the programme.
