Inclusion is a right and a shared obligation. At IDIWA, we champion the idea that true inclusion must be embedded at every stage of development cooperation. With 16% of the global population comprising persons with disabilities, including women and girls with disabilities (WGDs), inclusive development is not optional—it’s essential.
✅ Inclusive Planning: Engaging WGDs and their representatives from the start to ensure their voices shape priorities and solutions.
✅ Partnering with Organizations of Persons with Disabilities (OPDs): Building collaborations that amplify advocacy and action.
✅ Inclusive Budgeting and Analysis: Allocating resources to remove barriers and ensure equal participation.
✅ Providing Reasonable Accommodation: Ensuring individuals have the support they need to fully engage.
✅ Accessibility: Embedding universal design principles across all interventions.
💡 Awareness is key. By integrating inclusion from the start, we save time, resources, and strengthen the impact of development efforts. Above all, this ensures we truly #LeaveNoOneBehind.
