Abstract

The three global organisations recognise the significant contributions of organisations and individuals at international, regional, national and local levels who have shaped The Agenda process and helped create this report, including many practitioners and educators. We also acknowledge the insights and learning gained from working jointly with local individuals and communities. The work would not have been possible without the enthusiasm and voluntary commitment of them all.
We are grateful to the universities of Nouakchott and Durham for their continuing facilitation of The Agenda process at international level and to Monmouth University (New Jersey, USA) which generously supported the process for editing the final report. Sage Publications has supported our work with enthusiasm and flexibility from the outset and we especially appreciate their advice on the editing and publication process.
The Global Coordinators have made a distinctive contribution, translating The Agenda vision into an ongoing reality and a worldwide movement with unlimited potential. This was only possible thanks to the Regional Agenda Coordinators and others who facilitated the regional consultation processes and reports.
IASSW, ICSW and IFSW also acknowledge each other’s contributions. Since 2008 the governing bodies of each organisation have upheld the vision for The Agenda and had the faith to pioneer new ways of joint working, not only with each other but also with many organisations all around the world.
