Welcome to the website of the International Disability and Development Consortium (in short, IDDC).

IDDC is an international network.

This means a group of different organisations that work together.

We focus on the rights of people with disabilities.

IDDC works on inclusive development cooperation.

Development cooperation is when people from different countries work together to help make things better in communities that need it.

Usually, it means people from countries that have more money give that money to countries that need it.

The money is used to help solve different problems, like making sure that people have clean water or that all kids can go to school.

When we say that development cooperation is inclusive, that means people with disabilities fully take part.

IDDC also works on inclusive humanitarian action.

Humanitarian action means helping people who need help right away because of emergencies.

For example, they might need help because there are emergencies like wars or floods where they live.

IDDC members help people in these situations, and want to make sure that people with disabilities are also getting help when they need it
