For inclusion, everywhere.
In March 2026, DDP will have been working on disability and development for more than 30 years.
It has worked towards a vision of inclusion, where disabled children and adults can access the opportunities their societies have to offer. People living with disability in some of the world’s poorest countries are routinely marginalized and face barriers to healthcare, education, training and employment.
Working in partnership has been DDP’s dedicated priority. Run by and for disabled people, these local partners are best placed to understand their needs and challenges. DDP’s role has been to help support, develop and realize projects, raise funds and facilitate international cooperation.
As they work towards a sustainable future, many disabled people’s organizations have used our partnership as a springboard to funding, independence and continued success.
We are confident that every partner and project we have supported has changed the lives of children and adults with disabilities and their families, and gone some way towards equalizing opportunities for the most vulnerable in society.
- Strengthening partner organizations
