Collaborating globally to promote inclusive development

Geschiedenis

The International Disability and Development Consortium (IDDC) is a global consortium of disability and development non-governmental organisations (NGOs), mainstream development NGOs and disabled people's organisations (DPOs) supporting disability and development work in more than 100 countries around the world.

The aim of IDDC is to promote inclusive development internationally, with a special focus on promoting the full and effective enjoyment of human rights by all disabled people living in economically poor communities in lower and middle-income countries.

IDDC’s main objectives are:

- To promote the inclusion of the disability dimension, as well as appropriate disability-specific approaches, in all development policy and practice.

- To improve the practice of the member organisations by collaborating and sharing experience about policy and practice.

- To support the exchange of information and knowledge about inclusive development, especially between people and organisations in economically poorer countries, by the wide distribution of information.
