Conference on disability-inclusive MDGs and aid effectiveness
About the conferenceThe conference will improve understanding of how disability-inclusive development contributes to the full achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). It will also help to prepare for the final review of the Second Asian and Pacific Decade of Disabled Persons, to be conducted in October 2012. As a platform for exchanging lessons learned, the conference will explore ways to enhance the quality and effectiveness of development cooperation through the inclusion of persons with disabilities. Bringing together disabled people’s organisations, non-governmental organisations, UN agencies, development practitioners and academics, the conference offers a unique opportunity to develop innovative ways to bring disability into the mainstream of international development. Panel sessions and workshops will explore good practice and identify effective ways of delivering results that will have empowering and positive impacts on the lives of people with disabilities.
