Excluded from the Excluded: People with Intellectual Disabilities in (and out of) Official Development Assistance
Report
In partnership with Development Initiatives, we released a new publication on inclusion of people in international development and humanitarian aid.
Article 32 of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) protects the right of people with disabilities to be included in international development and aid.
Although funders and governments have made commitments to “no one left behind,” this publication reveals that people with intellectual disabilities are excluded from international development and aid, based on the OECD’s data on Official Development Assistance.
