The World Summit for Social Development was a conference held in Copenhagen from 6–12 March 1995.[1] It aimed to "establish a people-centered framework for social development, to build a culture of cooperation and partnership and to respond to the immediate needs of those who are most affected by human distress."[2]

Organisations whose representatives addressed the summit included Grameen Bank, Soroptimist International, and Rotary International.[2]
