“ [UNV’s] approach has generally been low-key and non-threatening, characterized by flexibility, responsiveness and accessibility. Operating with the authority of the UN but the informality and flexibility of an NGO, UNV has become a means for the UN to work in regions and on issues that have not always been within [the UN’s] compass”
(Review of UNV’s Involvement in Conflict Resolution and Confidence Building. J. Cohen, Conciliation Resources, London, June 2000)
“UNV [has] raised its profile over recent years and equally importantly, [has] established a clearly differentiated and distinctive brand image, especially within the context of other UN agencies. UNV’s core brand attributes []centre on the philosophy, value, people and actions associated with volunteering, both national and international. UNV [has] become more than just a sender and receiver of volunteer manpower, but [is] involved with the whole concept of volunteering and the thought and spirit behind volunteer actions.”
(Second follow-up review of UNV collaboration with cooperation organizations. Francesca Taylor, December 2001)
