Volunteers’ contributions are critical, yet the lack of data still fails to reflect that 📏

The State of the World’s Volunteerism Report 2026 will show how better data can inform policies, investments and community resilience.

#SWVR2026 is coming on 🗓️ 5/12/2025.

[Emiliya Asadova @EAsadova]

Harvesting diverse tools to measure and show value of #volunteering is essential for investments and attention to it. This was a topic of enormous interest &learning from practitioners, academia at #IVCO2025. @UNVolunteers will uncover #volunteer measurement in next #SWVR2026

[Emiliya Asadova @EAsadova]

.@NUGlobalDev @UNVolunteers gathered practitioners,academia&government for strategic insights,practical recommendations and ways to share #knowledge on #volunteermeasurement for upcoming State of the World’s #Volunteerism Report #SWVR2026
