What is our purpose?
We want to promote inclusive development and humanitarian action
all around the world,
especially in developing countries.
These are 3 main objectives:
- When you are supporting developing countries, make sure to include the rights of people with disabilities.
- Help our member organisations in working together and share their experiences
- Promote discussions and knowledge on the topic of inclusive development and humanitarian action.
Our work is guided by our values, which are:
- Human rights for all.
It means that all people have human rights and freedoms including people with disabilities.
- Inclusion and diversity.
It means including all people in society because it makes society better and more equal.
- Sustainable development and social justice.
This means that we need to overcome poverty. While we work on that, we should always keep in mind the rights of people with disabilities.
- Partnership and participation.
This means working together with as many people and organisations as possible.
Our work is also guided by
the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (in short, CRPD)
and the Sustainable Development Goals (also called Agenda 2030).
These are 2 documents created by the United Nations
to promote human rights, equality, peace
and a better future for the whole world
