What do we do?

ICSW analyses social issues raised throughout its member network in order to develop representative policies which it then advocates to governments at the national, regional and global level. Regular ICSW civil society forums have enabled civil society organisations to review social progress in their own countries and regions and to propose further priorities for further action and implementation. In many cases the forums have preceded key regional and global policy-making meetings.
