About VSO Bahaginan

WHAT WE DO

VSO Business Partnerships (VBP) is a programme that enables partner companies to release their employees to take assignments (six to twelve months) with VSO. Business Partnerships volunteers utilize their business and management skills to assist organizations and communities throughout the developing world.

VSO Bahaginan is the regional focal point for VSO Business Partnerships in the Southeast Asia and Pacific region. In the Philippines, Accenture rolled out the program in 2005 and will be sending its first VBP volunteer this year.

In the true spirit of partnership, VBP brings benefits to all those involved in the program.

• Organizations in developing countries gain access to crucial business skills that can act as an engine for sustainable growth-we believe this is one of the most effective solutions to global poverty.


• VBP volunteers gain rewarding professional development experience that allows them to develop a wide range of skills while making a real difference where the need is greatest.


• For partner companies, VBP helps develop and retain a highly innovative and adaptable workforce with a strong understanding of other cultures.
