DOWNLOADABLE INSIGHT BRIEF
Volunteerism as a Driving Force for Entrepreneurship, Youth Employment, and Community Resilience
By FP Analytics, with support from CorpsAfrica
DECEMBER 2025
Volunteering can drive youth employment, support climate resilience, and promote locally led development. Recognizing this vital role, the UN has declared 2026 the International Year of Volunteers for Sustainable Development. Yet, most volunteering is informal, especially in developing countries, and only 20 percent of countries have formally integrated volunteering into their national development plans. This Insight Brief from FP Analytics, with support from CorpsAfrica, explores how volunteering contributes to sustainable development and youth empowerment. Download the Insight Brief.
