UNV Pacific

Strengthening collaboration on water security and climate resilience across the Pacific, this exchange supports shared learning and partnerships among Pacific island countries.

UNV Pacific team, as part of their mission to Kiribati, met virtually with Boniswa Dladla, Water Project Manager for UNDP in the Republic of the Marshall Islands, to discuss UNV Youth Opportunities and engagement in climate resilience work.

The discussion highlighted lessons from the ACWA Project and how volunteerism, community leadership, and youth engagement are helping deliver locally driven solutions that improve access to safe water and strengthen resilience across Pacific island communities.

Meet Abdul Majid Khan, an international UN Volunteer from Pakistan who is currently serving as a Multimedia and Design Specialist in Honiara, Solomon Islands.

Abdul's mission is to turn complex government and election information into clear, beautiful, and culturally relevant visual stories.

His daily work supports the Solomon Islands Electoral Commission by creating everything from voter education videos to social media campaigns.

His biggest challenge is making sure this vital public information connects with diverse communities across different languages and cultural backgrounds.

"Volunteering creates a direct human connection," Abdul says. "It is rewarding to see how design and communication can support democratic engagement and contribute to meaningful change."

Serving abroad has also accelerated Abdul’s professional growth, sharpening his ability to build communication strategies for multicultural audiences in fast-paced international environments.
