Mission and objectivesUNDP supports strategic capacity development initiatives to promote inclusive growth and sustainable human development. Together with national, regional and local authorities, civil societies, private sector, UNDP strives to support Ukraine in its efforts to eliminate poverty, develop peopleโs capacity, achieve equitable results, sustain the environment, and advance democratic governance. UNDP is in line with 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), to achieve national strategic capacity development.
ContextThe Tech Volunteers for Resilience (Tech4R) programme, jointly led by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP ICPSD) and the United Nations Volunteers (UNV) programme, brings together skilled digital professionals to co-create open-source solutions that enhance resilience, recovery, and inclusion in crisis contexts. In collaboration with UNDP Ukraine, Tech4R is developing a Digital Accessibility and Universal Design Assessment Tool for Youth Centers. This initiative aims to provide a standardized, easy-to-use digital platform that allows youth centers to assess their accessibility and inclusivity in alignment with universal design principles. The tool will serve as a model for embedding accessibility and inclusivity into Ukraineโs youth infrastructure reconstruction efforts. It will also strengthen the capacity of youth workers, local authorities, and volunteers to adopt accessible digital practices. The QA & Localization Volunteers will test the functionality, usability, and linguistic accuracy of the tool, ensuring that the Ukrainian and English versions are consistent, accessible, and culturally appropriate.
