#𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗧𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆 🇰🇲 | Jour 1 : quand une équipe pays s’arrête un instant pour mieux accélérer ensemble.

La retraite annuelle du Système des Nations Unies aux Comores s’ouvre aujourd’hui avec une ambition simple mais essentielle : transformer l’intelligence collective en action plus cohérente, plus stratégique et plus proche des priorités nationales.

Cette retraite n’est pas seulement un moment de travail interne. C’est un 𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗱𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗱’𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗲𝘁 𝗱’𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗳 pour mieux accompagner les Comores dans leur trajectoire de développement durable.

Is volunteering really a luxury of the Global North?

In 2025, nearly 16,000 UN Volunteers from the Global South proved otherwise.

Representing 93% of all UN Volunteers, they advanced peace and development through 59 @UN entities.

“Many, many @UN organisations would not be able to deliver without the support of @UNVolunteers in crisis settings."

@UNDP Administrator @alexanderdecroo at #UNDPEB

[UN Volunteers @UNVolunteers]

"For Small Island Developing States, volunteerism remains an instrument for capacity development.

We appreciate important support from UNV, but we believe there is significant potential for more support, including in climate-related challenges." @comorosonu at #UNDPEB
