New website showcases innovation and research for a disability-inclusive future

Inclusive Futures, a consortium of 16 global partner organisations advocating for disability inclusion, launched its new website on 20 July.

The website is a hub of information for the global disability and development communities on learning and disability-inclusive programme best practice. It will showcase the work happening across seven countries to promote equal opportunities for people with disabilities in healthcare, education, employment and the global response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Visitors to the site will have the chance to discover the people driving the initiative globally, nationally and locally. There will be an area of the site dedicated to the experts in inclusion and the people with lived experience of disability making the projects happen.

The website also features audio reports from citizen reporters around the world, who will report on global disability issues at a local level. These reporters will cover issues affecting their daily lives as people with disabilities, as well as uncovering views and perceptions of disability in the places where they live. This reporting will help to capture the impact Inclusive Futures is having on the lives of some of the world’s most excluded people through this unparalleled global collaboration.
