Briefing Paper
Exploring Synergies Across Research From IAVE, Forum and UN Volunteers
In 2021, three key pieces of global research on volunteering were published: IAVE’s “Leadership for Volunteering: The COVID-19 Experience”, Forum’s “COVID-19 and the Future of Volunteering for Development” and UN Volunteers’ State of the World’s Volunteerism Report 2022: Building Equal and Inclusive Societies”. It seemed important and opportune to bring these three pieces of global research on volunteering together to share knowledge, highlight and consider the strategic common issues/trends; and provide commentary on what the evidence indicates for the future of volunteering.
IAVE commissioned Dr. Alice Chadwick El-Ali to look across these three research reports and provide a briefing paper on the common issues/themes that emerge. The objective is to add value to people’s understanding of global trends for volunteering and engage people in considering what the future for volunteering might or can be.
