   EUROPEAN COMMISSION  Brussels, 25.5.2020  COM(2020) 209 final  REPORT FROM THE COMMISSION TO THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL Annual Report on the Implementation of the EU Aid Volunteers Initiative in 2019  
 
 
I. Introduction 

Acting in  accordance  with  Article 214(5) of the  Treaty on the Functioning of the European 
Union,  the  EU  launched  the  EU  Aid  Volunteers  initiative  in  20141.  The  initiative  aims  to 
strengthen  the  EU’s  ability  to  provide  needs-based  humanitarian  aid  and  to  strengthen  the 
capacity and  resilience of vulnerable or disaster-affected communities in  non-EU countries. 
At  the  same  time,  it  allows  European  citizens  to  show  solidarity  with  people  in  need  by 
taking part in humanitarian actions in these countries. 

This  report  describes  the  implementation  of  the  EU  Aid  Volunteers  initiative  in  2019.  It  is 
prepared  in  line  with  Article 27(4)  of  Regulation  (EU)  No 375/20142,  which  requires  the 
Commission  to  submit  annual  reports  to  the  European  Parliament  and  to  the  Council  on 
progress made in implementing the Regulation. Previous reports for 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 
and 2018 are available online3. 

The  report  is  based  on  data  collected  and  analysed  in  line  with  the  Framework  for  the 
monitoring of the implementation of actions under the initiative. This framework was drawn 
up  and  agreed  between  the  Commission  and  the  Education,  Audiovisual  and  Culture 
Executive  Agency  (EACEA),  which  is  responsible  for  managing  most  of  the  operations 
carried out under the initiative. 

II. Objectives and priorities 

The  activities  described  in  this  report  were  based  on  the  Commission’s  2019  Annual  work 
programme to implement the EU Aid Volunteers initiative4 in accordance with Article 21(3) 
of Regulation (EU) No 375/2014. A budget of EUR 18 365 000 was set aside to implement 
the initiative. 

The objective of the EU Aid Volunteers initiative is to contribute to strengthening the EU's capacity 
to provide needs-based humanitarian aid aimed at preserving life, preventing and alleviating human 
suffering  and  maintaining  human  dignity  and  to  strengthening  the  capacity  and  resilience  of 
vulnerable  or  disaster-affected  communities  in  third  countries,  particularly  by  means  of  disaster 
preparedness,  disaster  risk  reduction  and  by  enhancing  the  link  between  relief,  rehabilitation  and 
development.

III. Actions implemented in 2019 

The  actions  described  in  Sections  1-4  of  this  report  are  delegated  to  and  implemented  by 
EACEA, in cooperation with the Commission5. 

EACEA is responsible for the calls for proposals, calls for tender, contract management and

1.  Deployment 

The  deployment  of  EU  Aid  Volunteers  to  humanitarian  projects  in  countries  outside  of  the 
EU  offers  a  meaningful  opportunity  for  EU  citizens  and  long-term  residents  in  the  EU  to 
show  their  solidarity  with  those  in  need.  Deployments  of  full-time  volunteers  in  non-EU 
countries are supported by online volunteering that people can take part in wherever they are 
in the world. 

Volunteering opportunities funded under the EU Aid Volunteers initiative are published by a 
consortia of sending and hosting organisations on the EU Aid Volunteers Platform6.  

Between 1 January 2019 and 31 December 2019, 374 EU Aid Volunteers were deployed to 
projects  funded  through  the  2017  and  2018  budget  and  61  apprenticeship  placements  took 
place during this period. Apprenticeship placements allow junior EU Aid Volunteers to spend 
up to 6 months in the headquarter of the sending organisation in an EU Member State prior to 
deployment to a third country.  

The  chart  below  shows  the  number  of  volunteers  planned  under  the  deployment  projects 
selected every year since the initiative began in 2015. The deployment call published in 2019 
resulted in 424 deployments that will take place in 2020 / 2021. 

5 
The  division  of  tasks  between  the  Commission  and  EACEA  is  based  on  Commission  Decision  C 
(2013)9189 of 18.12.2013 delegating powers to the Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency with 
view  to  performance  of  tasks  linked  to  the  implementation  of  Union  programmes  in  the  field  of  education, 
audiovisual  and  culture  comprising,  in  particular,  implementation  of  appropriations  entered  in  the  general 
budget of the Union and of the EDF allocations.

which 62 in 2019. The most frequently requested tasks included translation, proofreading and 
graphic design. 

Examples of volunteering from projects implemented in 20197 

The “Humanitarian Volunteers in Action: Challenges & Opportunities” project brings together two sending 
organisations from France and Slovakia that work together to deploy 18 EU Aid Volunteers to humanitarian aid 
operations in nine  hosting organisations in  Albania, Morocco, Algeria, Ecuador, Georgia, Turkey. In Albania, 
the project offers nutritional services to vulnerable groups, like children, people in need and people with chronic 
conditions in the municipality of Tirana.  

A junior EU Aid Volunteer working on nutrition writes about her role in Albania, where she led workshops on 
nutritional good practice for children and young adults with disabilities:“During my volunteering mission as a 
dietician,  I  had  the  opportunity  to  work  with  different  centers  and  schools.  Once  a  week  I  go  to  the  center 
"Femijet  e  Botes  ne  Shqiperi",  which  welcomes  10  children  after  school,  and  to  the  center  "Fondacioni 
Ndihmoni  Jeten"  in  Prush,  which  takes  care  of  young  adults  with  mental  disabilities,  including  a  particular 
group that learns to become as independent as possible. With these two groups I had the opportunity to create 
links and set up workshops based on nutritional education.” 
(https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/echo/eu-aid-volunteers_en/nutritional-education-food-pyramid_en ) 

Under  the  project,  ‘EU  Aid  Volunteers  for  resilience  and  response  capacity  of  vulnerable  communities 
through  deployment  and  capacity  building  activities’,  sending  organisations  from  Italy  and  Spain  are 
working together as partners to deploy 32 volunteers in 13 non-European countries.  

A  junior  EU  Aid  Volunteer  deployed  in  the  Philippines  writes  about  his  experience  as  EU  Aid  Volunteer  in 
logistics.  Since  the  eruption  of  the  Taal  volcano  his  activities  are  focused  on  the  logistic  coordination  of  the 
emergency response operations in the area: 

“We  are  now  implementing  several  projects  -  with  shelter,  WASH  and  cash  components  -  after  the  series  of 
earthquakes that took place in the last weeks. In these two months, there was also a strong typhoon, Kammuri -
the 20th this year -, but thankfully it was not as destructive as thought. It looks like they are not wrong when 
they say those months are always busy!”

The 2019 call for proposals for deployment of EU Aid Volunteers8 was published on 12 April 
2019 with a submission deadline of 13 June 2019. The call aimed to co-finance projects for 
the  deployment  of  EU  Aid  Volunteers,  including  apprenticeship  placements  for  junior 
professionals  and  additional  capacity  building  activities  carried  out  by  volunteers.  Initially, 
the budget  for this  call  was EUR 10 000 000.  Following the evaluation  of applications, the 
budget was increased by transferring budget allocated to the technical assistance and capacity 
building call for proposals. A total of 10 projects were selected9 for co-financing with a total 
EU grant of EUR 11 360 700. The projects started in December 2019 and will result in the 
deployment of 424 EU Aid Volunteers planned to start in 2020. There is an increase in the 
number of volunteers proposed by organisations from 368 in 2018 to 424 in 2019.  

The deployments in 2019 were planned to take place in Africa (45.5 %), Latin America and 
the Caribbean (24.8%), the Middle East (15.8%), Eastern Asia (9.9%), Central Asia (3.1%) 
and the Balkans (0.9%). 

2.  Technical assistance and capacity building 

Technical  assistance  and  capacity  building  projects10  supported  through  the  EU  Aid 
Volunteers  initiative  funding  strengthen  the  capacities  of  organisations  intending  to  deploy 
EU  Aid  Volunteers  and  ensure  that  they  comply  with  the  standards  and  procedures  set 
through the initiative. 

On  22 May  2019,  EACEA  published  a  call  for  proposals11  with  a  submission  deadline  of 
4 July  2019.  The  call  aimed  at  co-financing  projects  for  capacity  building  for  hosting 
organisations  based  outside  of  the  EU  and  technical  assistance  for  EU-based  sending 
organisations,  in  areas  such  as  disaster  risk  management,  volunteer  management  and  needs 
assessment  methodology.  The  total  budget  for  the  co-financing  projects  set  out  in  the 
Commission’s annual work programme was reduced from EUR 4 600 000 to EUR 3 239 300, 
following  the  transfer  of  funds  to  the  projects  selected  under  the  call  for  proposals  for 
deployment. 

Five applications (one for technical assistance and four for capacity building) were  selected 
for co-financing12 with a total EU grant of EUR 2 614 101. 

Overall, the 2015-2019 calls resulted in the funding of 32 capacity building projects and 13 
technical assistance projects, involving 440 beneficiaries/project partners. 

These  projects  aim  to  strengthen  the  management  and  operation  systems  of  participating 
organisations  and  to  help  the  organisations  involved  to  work  in  partnership  to  implement 
best-practice in delivering humanitarian aid and managing volunteers.

Capacity building 

The  XCHANGE  project  is  promoted  and  implemented  by  a  consortium  of  14  partners:  5  EU  organisations 
from  Italy,  Slovakia  and  Spain,  and  9  organisations  from  Ethiopia,  Kenya,  Guatemala,  Colombia,  Peru  and 
Serbia.  The  projects  main  goal  is  to  give  members  the  possibility  to  manage  volunteers  under  the  EU  Aid 
Volunteers  initiative  and  to  learn  from  sharing  good  practice  in  humanitarian  aid,  volunteer  management  and 
community-based development. 

INPLACE  is  a  capacity  building  project  revolving  around  the  challenge  of  forced  displacement  in  Latin 
America and the certification of new hosting organisations on that continent. There are 2 EU organisations from 
Spain and Italy and 13 organisations from 9 non-EU countries that participate in this 24-month project, bringing 
their  experience  and  improving  capacities  or  gaining  new  ones:  Colombia,  Bolivia,  Peru,  Brazil,  Venezuela, 
Chile, Honduras, Guatemala, and Mexico. 

The  project  has  four  specific  objectives:  (i)  develop  capacities  to  protect  vulnerable  populations  and 
communities  affected  by  the  Venezuelan  crisis  and  forced  displacement;  (ii)  strengthen  community-led 
processes  in  protection,  preparedness,  and  response  linked  to  displacement;  (iii)  strengthen  the  capacity  of 
organisations to get EU Aid Volunteers certification and promote local and online volunteering; and (iv) foster 
partnership among members. 

Technical assistance  

Technical  assistance  in  humanitarian  response,  ensuring  valuable  international  volunteering  and 
inclusion  of  people  with  disabilities  aims  to  create  a  global  community  of  practice  made  up  of  EU 
organisations  working  towards  disability  inclusion  in  humanitarian  action  and  volunteering.  The  project  is 
represented by 6 Consortium partners from 4 EU countries: Finland, Italy, Belgium and Ireland. 

The  project  has  three  main  objectives:  (i)  EU  organisations  have  increased  capacity  to  manage  and  oversee 
inclusive  humanitarian  aid  projects,  including  disaster  risk  reduction  and  post-disaster  recovery;  (ii)  some 
consortium  member  EU  organisations  become  certified  as  sending  organisations  for  deployment  of  EU  Aid 
Volunteers and are running inclusive volunteering programmes; (iii) development of a community of practice 
building  capacity  in  inclusion,  humanitarian  action  and  volunteering  between  members,  and  sharing  this 
learning with the sector and the public. 

3.  Certification 

Organisations that wish to deploy EU Aid Volunteers must be certified as sending or hosting 
organisations  under  the  EU  Aid  Volunteers  initiative’s  certification  mechanism.  This 
certification checks if participating organisations are able to apply the volunteer management 
standards to manage volunteers before and during their deployment. 

An  open  call  was  published  in  2015,  allowing  for  ongoing  applications  until  30 September 
202013.  By  the  end  of  2019,  282  sending  and  hosting  organisations  have  been  certified  (52 
sending  and  230  hosting  organisations),  providing  opportunities  to  deploy  more  EU  Aid 
Volunteers. 

The chart below shows the number of organisations certified between 2015 and 2019.

Article 36(1) of Commission Implementing Regulation 1244/201414 requires that the certified 
sending and hosting organisations undergo re-certification after three years of being awarded 
certification.  In  2019,  34  organisations  certified  in  2016  had  to  undergo  the  process  of  re-
certification. 

4.  Training programme 

The  EU  Aid  Volunteers  training  programme  is  delivered  by  a  consortium  led  by  ICF.  It  is 
based on a competence framework set out in Commission Delegated Regulation 1398/2014 
and  is  delivered  using  a  combined  learning  approach,  with  online  preparatory  learning  and 
face-to-face  classroom  training  including  mandatory  and  optional  training  modules  and  a 
scenario–based exercise15. 

So far, a total of 23 training cycles have been delivered, two in 2016, four in 2017, eight in 
2018 and nine in 2019. Since 2016, 1016 candidate volunteers have been trained with a year-
on-year  increase  in  the  number  of  candidate  volunteers  being  trained:  96  in  2016;  179  in 
2017;  295  in  2018  and  446  in  2019.  Over  the  whole  period  of  the  initiative  so  far  99%  of 
candidate volunteers were declared ‘fit for deployment’ at the end of the training. 

Between  2016  and  2019,  72%  of  participants  were  women,  while  only  28%  were  men. 
Furthermore, 75% of candidate volunteers held junior profiles (having less than five years of 
professional  experience),  while  25%  held  senior  profiles  (with  more  than  five  years  of 
experience). In relation to the country of origin,  most candidate volunteers came from  Italy 
(278), Spain (220) and France (177).  

Between  March  and  September  2019,  nine  training  cycles  were  held  in  training  centres  in 
Austria, Belgium, Italy and the Netherlands. A total of 446 candidate volunteers were trained. 
As in previous years, a number of reserve candidates attended the training to ensure that there 
are  substitute  volunteers  if  chosen  candidates  resign  or  are  no  longer  available.  The  final 
selection by sending and hosting organisations takes place after the training is completed.

The  courses  were  delivered  mainly  in  English  and  some  groups  were  taught  in  French  or 
Spanish.  The projections  for future deployments  in  South  America and Africa is  high. This 
may lead to an increase in the demand for Spanish and French training cycles in 2020.  

Candidate  volunteers’  satisfaction  with  the  training  remains  high,  with  an  average  score  of 
8.8 out of 10 points. 

5.  Support measures 

The EU Aid Volunteers Platform continued to be a hub for volunteering-related information, 
providing  details  of  vacancies  for  full-time  deployment  and  online  volunteering.  It  also 
provides  tools  for  managing  EU  Aid  Volunteers,  a  database  of  successfully  trained 
volunteers,  tools  to  manage  online  volunteering  assignments,  collaborative  spaces  for 
volunteers  and  projects,  a  public  forum  where  updates  about  the  initiative  are  posted,  the 
possibility of posting stories from the field, and reporting and survey tools. The platform has 
5 806 active registered users. 

The platform is consulted by visitors from across the globe and the subscriptions service for 
volunteering vacancies had around 4 234 subscribers at the end of 2019. 

The  chart  below  shows  the  sharp  increase  in  the  number  of  subscribers  to  the  EU  Aid 
Volunteers Platform vacancy notices.

The EU Aid Volunteers initiative was also promoted at several events, such as the European 
Youth  Week  at  the  European  Parliament,  the  travelling  exhibition  of  the  European 
Commission on EU response to emergencies “EU Saves Lives”, the European Development 
Days,  the  Global  Humanitarian  and  Development  Aid  Event  (AidEx)  and  the  Annual 
Partners`  Conference  for  the  Commission’s  humanitarian  aid  partners.  A  dedicated

information  session  was  organised  on  International  Volunteer  Day  on  5 December  at  the 
External Cooperation Infopoint in Brussels. 

In 2019, the Commission organised a major communication campaign with testimonies from 
the  field  on  three  continents.  The  EU  Aid  Volunteers  in  Colombia,  the  Philippines  and 
Tunisia  had  the  opportunity  to  share  their  stories,  describe  their  specific  roles  and  tasks  in 
implementing  the  project  and  their  interactions  with  local  communities.  Meeting  the 
volunteers  in  the  field  allowed  the  Commission  to  collect  audio-visual  material16  for 
promotional  events,  namely  the  International  Volunteers  Day  on  5  December.  It  also 
provided  an  opportunity  to  gather  feedback  on  the  volunteering  experience,  including  the 
working  and  living  conditions,  and  valuable  suggestions  to  improve  the  implementation  of 
the EU Aid Volunteers initiative.  

A newsletter highlighting the most recent developments of the EU Aid Volunteers initiative 
is  distributed  on  a  regular  basis  to  the  subscribed  individuals  and  organisations.  In  2019, 
seven EU Aid Volunteers newsletters17 were sent to hundreds of stakeholders. 

IV. Conclusions and way forward 

The  implementation  of  the  deployment  and  capacity  building/technical  assistance  projects 
funded in previous years paved the way for the progress that has been made on the EU Aid 
Volunteers initiative in  2019. A total  of 10 new projects  for deployment of volunteers, one 
technical assistance project and four capacity building projects were selected for funding in 
2019. The total number of EU Aid Volunteers deployed to non-EU countries by the end of 
2019 reached 706 and at least 424 more will be deployed in 2020. The training programme 
continued  to  gain  high  satisfaction  rates  among  volunteers  and  more  training  sessions  in 
English,  French  and  Spanish  are  planned  for  2020.  However,  due  to  the    COVID-19 
pandemic  the  planning  for  implementation  of  the  projects,  including  the  training  and 
deployment of EU Aid Volunteers might be seriously affected. 

Since the launch of the initiative, 282 organisations have been certified. A number of these 
organisations were re-certified for another three years and this process will continue in 2020 
for  organisations  that  were  awarded  certification  in  2017.  New  certification  applications 
could be expected in view of the call for proposals for deployment in early 2020. 

In  2019,  the  EU  Aid  Volunteers  Platform  was  increasingly  used  to  publish  stories  from 
volunteers and organisations (107 new stories in 2019). The Platform was further adapted to 
respond to what organisations needed to manage their volunteers and it performs better now 
and is  more user-friendly.  The EU Aid Volunteers Platform  will continue to  be maintained 
and developed, including through updated guidance for users.
