The International Association of Schools of Social Work (IASSW), the International Council on Social Welfare (ICSW), and the International Federation of Social Workers (IFSW) initiated a discussion to develop a Global Agenda for social work and social development in Hong Kong in June 2010. The first draft of the Global Agenda was presented to the final session of the conference. The three organisations conducted a consultation with members. A combined working party produced the final document for UN Social Work Day, 26th March 2012. Both English & Japanese versions of Global Agenda are ready for download as per links below:
