The UNV program supports the capacity strengthening of voluntary associations and organizations and community-based organisations. With the aim of improving the perception of national volunteerism in the context of Senegal, the support of the UNV program is also centred on the role and the relevance of the volunteerism and the means to increase its visibility. It will also allow a better participation of civil society organisations (CSO) in the realization of the MDGs and increase the impact of their activities on communities. The contribution of the UNV program will also be to fund micro projects developed by the CSOs and volunteer associations.
