Founded in 1961, Australian Volunteers International (formerly the Overseas Services Bureau) is Australia's largest voluntary technical assistance programme.
It supports poverty reduction by fielding volunteers with specialist skills to provide practical assistance and advice, usually for a period of two years. They may be placed with both government and non-government organisations.
In addition to areas such as agricultural and rural development, water supply and sanitation, and basic health and education, volunteers are assigned to programmes that strengthen the protection, promotion and administration of human rights, especially in the areas of legal reform, women and children’s rights and ethnic and minority rights.
AVI currently has 20 volunteers serving throughout China. Their work has included the development of English teaching and teacher training programs for minority groups in south west China, and support for the design and management of innovative programmes in HIV/AIDS prevention, children’s rights and juvenile justice, and the publication of documents on legal rights.
AVI receives funding support from the Australian government Agency for International Development, but also accepts donations from the Australian public and for some projects seeks grants from international organisations.
