Background
The United Nations Volunteers (UNV) programme
of the UN organization that promotes volunteerism
to support peace and development worldwide.
Volunteerism can transform the pace and nature of
development and it benefits both society at large
and the individual volunteer. UNV contributes to
peace and development by advocating for
volunteerism globally, encouraging partners to
integrate volunteerism into development
programming, and mobilizing volunteers.
In most cultures volunteerism is deeply embedded
in long-established, ancient traditions of sharing
and support within the communities. In this
context, UN Volunteers take part in various forms
of volunteerism and play a role in development and
peace together with co-workers, host agencies and
local communities.
In all assignments, UN Volunteers promote
volunteerism through their action and conduct.
Engaging in volunteer activity can effectively and
positively enrich their understanding of local and
social realities, as well as create a bridge between
themselves and the people in their host
community. This will make the time they spend as
UN Volunteers even more rewarding and
productive


Brief Project Description
The objective of the project is to support Nigeria’s
border control efforts aimed at preventing illicit
trafficking in the North-East geopolitical zone of the
country, which is the most affected by the ongoing
terrorist insurgency. The project aims to achieve
this through the training of border control officers
from the five key Law Enforcement Agencies
involved in land border management and control in
the country. The officers to be trained would be
selected from five land border-areas from the
North-East geo-political zone of the country
namely, Belel and Sarti Gurin borders in Adamawa
State; Gamboru and Banki borders in Borno State;
Tulutulo border in Yobe State and Gembu border in
Taraba State. The capacity building would ensure
adherence to the rule of law and continuous
support for improvements in cross border control
efforts through a mentorship approach.
