Social Cohesion Consultation Report

Social cohesion goes beyond a safety net that protects and assists society’s most vulnerable. Rather, it is an integral part of socio-economic development that empowers everyone. It is about promoting a social cohesion mechanism in day-to-day life while also being reactive and strong enough to limit the damage of exposure to potential risks, whether it is the global financial crisis, conflict or natural disasters. The aim of the WANA Forum’s Social Cohesion Study is to initiate a multi-year collaborative effort that galvanises people in the region to think about social cohesion.
