Role of Volunteerism in Achieving Vision 2030 |
| Volunteerism as a way of responding to national challenges has been used both at community and state levels, but without much strategic thinking about its usefulness as a long-term developmental tool. Confronting this general acceptance of the relevance of volunteering is a national capacity gap to design and manage organized volunteerism. This presents great opportunities for the development of national volunteering initiatives in Kenya. |

Challenges faced in volunteerism in Kenya |

- Lack of communication materials e.g. posters, brochures, website
- Low membership participation by volunteer agencies in VIO network
- Lack of volunteer management skills for those who deals with volunteers
- Lack of awareness for those who want to volunteer and those want the volunteers
