The United Nations Social Development Network (UNSDN) serves as a global platform for sharing experiences and good practices in social development that aim to assist Governments, UN agencies and Civil Society in the development of social development policies and practices. UNSDN was launched in August 2012 by the Division for Social Policy and Development of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs. In pursuit of an inclusive society that ensures no one is left behind, UNSDN aims to contribute to raising awareness of social development initiatives among stakeholders, including academia, civil society and the private sector, creating a dynamic social development network, and reaching out to the public by sharing knowledge, skills, and tools.
