Volunteering

Volunteering is a formal commitment for a limited period of time. The volunteer is not an employee but may receive an indemnity. Or the term "volunteering" has multiple meanings. It brings together a set of legal statuses under which people engage in work at home or abroad. These statutes are on the border between volunteering and salaried work.

Why commit?

Mr Nicolas Kazadi, Senior Adviser on Sustainable Development Goals at the United Nations Development Program, stressed this: "Volunteering is a tool to achieve the SDGs in the sense that volunteers bring their own contribution in a structure that has human resources according to their organization chart, but still needs support to do its work. "

According to the NGO Rural Development Organization Movement today it is important to involve volunteering in all sectors and make it a lever of development, since it is the effective tool in the implementation of Goal 17 of the Sustainable Development Goals.
