IFSW is delighted to present its 2024 End of Year Report, highlighting the dedication, resilience, and transformative impact of social work across the globe. This report reflects the federation’s collective achievements over the past year, highlighting both the challenges faced and the remarkable progress made in advancing social justice and strengthening the social work profession worldwide.
The 2024 report showcases the contributions of our members and provides accounts of key developments across our five geographic regions: Africa, Asia-Pacific, Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean, and North America. Each region’s unique initiatives and advancements reflect the diversity and dynamism of our global federation, underscoring the vital role social workers play in creating inclusive and sustainable societies.
Additionally, the report offers important updates from our four commissions—Education, Ethics, Indigenous, and United Nations—whose work continues to shape IFSW’s policies and strategic direction. These commissions remain at the heart of our mission to champion social work as a force for positive change and social justice.
Joachim Mumba, IFSW President, remarked: “The 2024 End of Year Report powerfully highlights the steadfast dedication of social workers across the globe.
