Abstract:
From the outset, discussions about the post-2015 UN development agenda have recognized and emphasized the central importance of social inclusion in the new development framework. This Issue Brief aims to further enhance those ongoing discussions by demonstrating that volunteerism, when well facilitated, can be a powerful mechanism for promoting social inclusion throughout the world. With the support of research-based evidence, it demonstrates how the values inherent
in volunteerism open up diverse pathways for marginalized groups to overcome social exclusion, while enabling them to become drivers of development action. Any framework that aims to reverse a ‘top-down’ approach must recognize the contributions of volunteerism in aiding progress towards the Millennium Development Goals and sustainable human development in a post-2015 world.
