Today, Social Watch launched, After the Fall – Time for a new deal, a report that calls for climate justice; financial, fiscal and economic justice; social and gender justice; and plain old justice.

The report addresses various thematic issues, and looks at international as well as national progress made on the MDGs. It notes with concern that progress on poverty reduction has slowed down since the MDGs were set and notes that social progress does not automatically follows economic growth. Besides, it highlights that better (non-monetary) indicators are needed to more accurately monitor the evolution of poverty in the world.

Strengthening the work of the Social Watch network and its national coalitions in the African region was the main objective of the training workshop that took place in Nairobi, Kenya, 13–14 August 2010 with over 30 participants of civil society organizations in the continent.
