The Sustainable Development Goals are designed to hold governments around the world accountable to ensure that the debilitating poverty and inequality in their countries are systemically addressed while also ensuring that measures are taken to ensure the planet is protected. The Capacity Building conference to be held in Gqeberha (previously known as Port Elizabeth), Eastern Cape, South Africa on 18 January 2023 aims to provide a social work reflection on various governments’ progress in realising the SDG’s in their countries. In addition to this, the conference will also focus on a discussion around quality social work education in relation to the SDGs and incorporate a discussion on the Global Standards of Social Work Education.
Social Work is intrinsically linked to the quest for a just social order and human prosperity. This event offers a platform for social work to reflect on the progress made and barriers to progress for various countries in achieving the SDG’s while foregrounding the importance of good social work education in pursuit of a social order that ensure wellbeing of all.
