Employee Volunteering and Humanitarian Aid
Contracted by the European Commission (DG ECHO), CODESPA and CEV are undertaking a study to assess the potential contribution that Employee Volunteering (EV) in Humanitarian Aid could give to the EU Aid Volunteer initiative.

EU Aid Volunteers will engage 4.000 European volunteers and 10,000 on-line volunteers in humanitarian aid operations worldwide between 2014 and 2020. It has been under development since 2009 and will be formally launched in 2014.
