ICSW's principal form of advocacy has been to present oral and written submissions to governments and intergovernmental institutions. ICSW has produced policy papers, research and information on social policy issues of special relevance to different parts of the world.
Presenting clear and concise policy statements on behalf of ICSW members and other CSOs and advocating specific implementation action is a vital component of ICSW's strategy and this page highlights a number of publications and reviews that ICSW has been engaged in.
