ICSW
and our members are active in a wide range of fields within
the general areas of social development, social welfare and
social justice. This includes issues such as food and nutrition,
welfare and health services, social security, education and
housing, as well as many issues relating to economic development,
human rights and community participation.

ICSW undertakes research and organises consultations to help analyse
problems and develop policies. Each of our regular biennial conferences
at global and regional levels covers a very wide range of issues.
Many other forums, seminars and workshops are convened on specific
topics.
We prepare written policy submissions, lobby governments and organise
delegations to attend key international meetings. We also work with
other international organisations, especially by convening joint
meetings and developing consistent policies.
