ICSW Global Newsletter called Global Cooperation is posted each month. It gives our network up to date information on ICSW's work at global, regional and local levels as well as international events. Readers appreciate learning how to better connect and cooperate to promote social development.
Global Social Policy Journal (GSP)
ICSW supports the Global Social Policy Journal. In particular, ICSW sponsors a section called "Southern Voices" as part of the "GSP Digest". A new "GSP Digest" appears each four months and can be found in 'What's NEW?'.
ICSW acknowledges that the ICSW sponsorship has been made possible through grants from the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland and the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida).
Regional Newsletters
In the ICSW structure we have nine geographic regions headed by a regional president. The members in the different regions are furnished with a newsletter. This page takes you to past newsletters from the ICSW Europe region.
Global Programmes
Traditionally, ICSW Global Programmes serve as forward -looking frameworks, providing key guideposts for policy action globally and regionally. They are prepared in a bottom-up manner, with inputs provided by the members, and extensive network-wide discussions. At the same time after the new Global Programme is adopted it is expected that regional organizations use it as a basis for their activities, in accordance with their own objectives and priorities.
