Background
The United Nations Volunteers (UNV) programme is 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.

In August 2013, the Government of Nigeria and UNDP signed a project document on Strengthening Capacity of CSOs on advocacy for policy influencing on HIV/AIDS in Nigeria.

Also, the Process of signing the Project Cooperation Agreement, (PCA) between UNDP and the Implementing Partner, (IP), Network of People Living with HIV/AIDS in Nigeria (NEPHWAN) is almost completed. In line with the Implementation arrangement under the project, a Project Coordinator is expected to be recruited to provide technical support and oversight for effective implementation.

The objective of this project is to strengthen the capacity of CSOs to advocate and promote rights and issues of people living with HIV/AIDS as well as demand accountability for AIDS spending at state and national level.
