Used in Turkey through the national disaster authority, the AFAD Volunteer Platform shows how volunteer energy can be channelled into organised, meaningful action. For RISE, it is a powerful example of how community leaders and grassroots actors can be trained, mobilised, and supported through an official system. For other countries, it offers strong inspiration for building trusted volunteer networks that are ready to step forward when crises emerge.
