To combat inequality and achieve full social inclusion of all people in our societies, it is crucial to equip representatives of governments, civil society and other social actors, including the most excluded people from Vulnerable Groups, of the skills necessary to understand and assume the challenges involved in designing public policies focused on effective inclusion and the realization of all citizen rights. 

By empowering key actors who work for more rights for more people in the Americas, capacity will be created to effectively advocate for an agenda of inclusion and human rights in all spaces, including in government spaces, where they can more effectively influence the design and implementation of inclusive public policies for all people in the post-COVID-19 reconstruction process. 

The Department of Social Inclusion (DSI), maintaining its commitment to generating spaces for learning and discussion of the problems, challenges, good practices and pending issues in the inclusion and human rights agenda of the groups in situations of vulnerability, presents the Digital Diploma in Leadership for Social Inclusion and Access to Rights. 

With the support of the OAS Civil Society Relations Section and the OAS School of Governance.
