Query

What is the evidence for the benefits to society of an inclusive societies approach?

Overview

There are many claims for the benefits to society of an inclusive societies approach across a broad range of societal outcomes. The anticipated development benefits of inclusive societies are increasingly present in donor policy thinking and global dialogues, including the post-2015 Sustainable Development Goal framework. The desired impacts range from economic benefits to other development goals, social cohesion and sustainable peace.
