Global Peacekeepers Volunteer Initiative (GPVI).

The Global Peacekeepers Volunteer Initiative (GPVI) is a global platform created to mobilize SDGs Hero volunteers across the world to implement targeted Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) projects within their own communities as “sustainability starts with you” The initiative aims to bridge the gap between high-level policy frameworks and real, visible action at the grassroots level. GPVI operates under the slogan “Small Actions, Big Change: Turning SDGs into Reality.” This concept is inspired by the Japanese philosophy of Kaizen, which emphasizes continuous and never-ending improvement. GPVI believes that small, consistent, and focused actions can collectively lead to transformative and lasting change. On 15 December 2025, the United Peacekeepers Federal Council (UNPKFC) and the International Governance and Sustainability Institute (IG-SI) jointly organized a one-day training and workshop for 300 volunteers on the United Nations system and the Sustainable Development Goals. “The sessions featured engaging, interactive lectures and PowerPoint presentations delivered by myself, along with Dr. Aphinita Chaichana, President of UNPKFC and Director International Affairs of IG-SI Brigadier General Marines Sandy Latief Head of the Military Expert Staff, Indonesian Marine Corps, Ms. Esin Gulsen, a former UN Peacekeeper and Director of Operations at IG-SI from Türkiye; Ms. Rangsima Thongpunchung Country Director, United Peace Keepers Federal Council (UNPKFC), Thailand (Headquarters) Colonel Marines Dr. (HC) Arief Rahman Hakim, Chairman of the IRC and Senior Military Advisor to UNPKFC for Asia ,Former United Nations Military Observer in Nepal (UNMIN) and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO) Group Captain Dr. Teerawat Duangchan Advisor, United Peace Keepers Federal Council (UNPKFC) ,Former United Nations Military Observer, United Nations Mission in Sudan (UNMIS) Maria Delilah, a former UN Peacekeeper from the Philippines; Wipada Matyam, a former UN Peacekeeper from Thailand; and Gabriella, a dedicated volunteer from the Philippines.” The training was followed by a highly engaging group activity, where participants were divided into 10 groups. Each group was assigned a specific SDG, including SDGs 3, 4, 5, 6, 11, 13, 14, 16, and 17. Within just 15 minutes, each group developed and presented Quick Impact Projects that they committed to implementing over the next three months. The ideas presented were innovative, practical, and community-focused, clearly demonstrating the power of youth, volunteerism, and collective action in turning the SDGs into reality. Dr. Aphinita Chaichana, President of UNPKFC, an exemplary and visionary leader, warmly acknowledged the valuable contributions of everyone involved in the training and workshop. She also presented awards to individuals dedicated to peacebuilding, the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals, and capacity-building through SDG training initiatives.” After the training session, the UNPKFC and IG-SI teams conducted a debriefing and celebrated the successful completion of the training workshop. By working together, we can turn the Sustainable Development Goals into action, create meaningful change, and build a better world for everyone. #volunteer #sdgs #unitednations
