About us

We’re specialists and global leaders in disability and development from more than 20 international organisations.

Worldwide, 16% of the population have a disability, and they are more likely to live in poverty. Since 2018, we’ve worked in partnership with people with disabilities and their representative organisations to ensure there are equal opportunities for everyone and a global future that’s disability inclusive.

We gather information that makes a big impact

We test new ideas to find out what does and doesn’t work in inclusive programming. We share this evidence to encourage others to take action, invest in disability inclusion and transform lives.
