Draft:International Consortium for Social Development

Submission declined on 13 August 2024 by DoubleGrazing (talk).

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.
If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.
Please do not remove reviewer comments or this notice until the submission is accepted.

International consortium for social development.^[1]

Origin

To spread the knowledge and practice of social development worldwide, International Consortium for Social Development (ICSD) was established in 1974-1975 by a group of social work and social development educators from Midwest Universities in the US ^[2].

Mission

ICSD is a multi-disciplinary nonprofit international association of institutions, individuals, scholars, practitioners, and students that is involved to build and spread knowledge of social development to eradicate poverty, improve standards of living, and promote human equality and ecological sustainability ^[3]^[4]

Vision

To be a leading association of international scholars and practitioners devoted to the study, advancement and dissemination of knowledge and practice about social development worldwide.

Golden Jubilee

ICSD is celebrating its 50th Anniversary in 2024-2025, under the presidency of Prof. Manohar Pawar^[5] and the leadership of ICSD board members .

Philosophy

The ICSD is premised on the conviction that the goals of human realization, equality, human rights, peace, and social, economic, and environmental justice could be reached only through comprehensive, collective, promotional, developmental, and evidence-informed efforts. Traditional clinical approaches directed only toward individuals are insufficient to achieve these ends.

The central features that characterize social development and ensure that it is an encompassing approach are identified by the terms that are intersystemic, intersectoral, institutional, normative, participatory, sustainable, and evidence-informed. It is intersystemic in the manner that attention is paid to the relations and impact of social systems on each other. It is intersectoral by focusing on the political, economic, and cultural dimensions within and between social systems. It is institutional by engaging in activities designed to create new institutions or supporting the renewal of existing ones. It is normative in the manner that the values of social/economic/political and environmental justice, peace, and human empowerment provide the structure within which social development takes place. It is participatory by including the maximum participation of the people to be affected. Environmental sustainability is at the core of all dimensions of social development. It is evidence-based in relying on results and data of solid research. In all facets of its operations, the ICSD seeks gender, racial, religious, ethnic, disability, and cultural inclusion as well as social equity, justice, and addressing hate crimes^4,5.

Activities

ICSD promotes international collaborations, education, research, and the dissemination of knowledge by asking key questions, specifying theory, conducting research, using evidence to improve policy and practice, teaching, and holding professional meetings⁵.
In collaborations with institutions and organisations, ICSD organises biennial international conferences. Including ICSD branches, it has organised over 50 international conferences.
ICSD publishes peer reviewed international Journal, namely, Social Development Issues (by Michigan Publishing from 2021) . You can access all 46 volumes Social Development Issues journal free at: https://www.socialdevelopment.net/full-article-access-for-members/ and https://journals.publishing.umich.edu/sdi/issues/
ICSD publishes biannual ICSD Newsletters. You may access ICSD Newsletters at: https://www.socialdevelopment.net/news-events/
