Furthermore, it is very important that women present an important part of the beneficiaries of a project. There are certain priorities we set. With our pilot projects we want to show that volunteer work of people is highly valuable and efficient. We want to show that there are advantages compared to the work of experts. For the next years we have especially identified the field of so called preventive development worth supporting.
Preventive development are all undertakings that work against the genesis of conflicts.
Take a country like Peru, where human rights have been violated in the past. Here our Volunteers inform the population about their rights and what they can do to come into their rights. It sounds like UNV is primarily concerned with human rights. That, of course, is one of the main focuses of the work of the United Nations. This is also due to the fact that a lot of nations want support in especially this area because the United Nations are a neutral organization.
