The 2026 Call of Civil Society for Social Development is a collective appeal to United Nations Member States to fulfill their commitments under the 2025 Doha Political Declaration and advance meaningful, inclusive, and sustainable social development. Grounded in the principles of human rights, equality, and social inclusion, the call emphasizes four key priorities: adequate financing for social development, universal public services and social protection, decent work for all, and stronger mechanisms for accountability and implementation. It underscores the importance of placing people at the center of development, particularly those in vulnerable and marginalized communities, and calls for concrete action to translate existing global commitments into tangible improvements in people’s lives.
