The use of UNV (with the exception of online UNV) requires General Assembly approval through budget process for assessed contributions. UN Volunteer assignments outside UN missions require availability of extra-budgetary resources as per entity’s budgetary and financial framework.
The costs for a UN Volunteer must be budgeted and approved as part of the entity’s budget. If the entity’s budget is approved by the GA, the cost must be included in the budget submission to the GA and approved accordingly. Most UN Volunteer assignments outside of UN missions are not subject to GA approval but are funded from extra-budgetary resources or approved on a project basis. The UN reimburses UNV for the costs associated with the UNV compensation as well as programme support costs in accordance with the corresponding exchange of letters (template is in Annex 1 to the MoU).
