What was Inclusive Futures?

Inclusive Futures was UK aid’s flagship disability-inclusive development consortium initiative, led by Sightsavers and the International Disability Alliance.

Together, we addressed the global gap in evidence about what works, and what doesn’t, to deliver transformative change.

From 2018-26, we worked with more than 200 organisations of people with disabilities across six countries, reaching 3.8 million people with disabilities and more than 17.5 million others through our work. Learn more about our lasting impact
