The International Federation of Social Workers (IFSW), the International Association of Schools of Social Work (IASSW), and the International Council on Social Welfare (ICSW) initiated a discussion to develop a Global Agenda for Social Work and Social Development in June 2010. The following four areas provided the framework for the agenda:

  • Social and economic inequalities within countries and between regions
  • Dignity and worth of the person
  • Environmental sustainability
  • Importance of human relationships
