International Consortium for Social Development:
the International Symposium
Building on the importance of good governance that the Dhaka symposium underscored, the 2013 ICSD conference, to be held in Kampala Uganda, will examine new and emerging issues in social development. While the symposium will attempt to examine new emerging issues of social development, long standing concerns including the Millennium Development Goals; policy limits; institutional autonomy; poverty and hunger; global climate change; continuous marginalization and social exclusion; social justice and human rights issues; mobilization of governmental, non-governmental, and civil society institutions that address the widening gap between rich and poor will be explored by leading scholars from all over the world. With Africa, and Uganda, as the location for this conference, attention will be drawn to the importance of the developing world and its contribution to these issues. They all present challenges and opportunities into the future.
