To collect information/data on the perspectives of youth from Small Island Developing States (SIDS), we seek the support of 45 Online Volunteers, who under the guidance of UNOPS New York will:

-Distribute the questionnaire created by UNOPS to youth from SIDS using online platforms, etc. to get the highest possible amount and diversity of responses.
