together to co-ordinate collective action, from local organisations to
national governments. Our programmes in Africa and Asia focus on health,
education and livelihoods, with an increasing emphasis on resilience, peace
building, social accountability, gender and social inclusion. We’re not about
delivering quick fixes, but instead we focus on long-lasting, sustainable
change that will improve the lives of generations to come.

Some background about VSO

Much has changed since VSO started 60 years ago. We’ve gone from being a UK

worked with over 7,000 volunteers from all over the world and from all
backgrounds to deliver services that had an impact on the lives of almost 2.6
million people in the 24 countries where we work. Our programmes focus on the
areas of health, education and livelihoods, with an increasing emphasis on
resilience building, social accountability, gender and social inclusion. We
believe progress is only possible when we work together and that strong
partnerships are crucial to delivering positive change. That’s why we work
with over 500 partner organisations, from local and national governments, to
businesses, NGOs, funders, charities and community groups. Currently, over 30%
of our people are recruited from within the country in which they work, and we
continue to grow the share of community and national volunteers involved in
our programmes. We also send increasing numbers of volunteers from one
developing country to another. However, our vision has remained the same; to
build a world without poverty.
