ADDC is exceptionally pleased with the recognition disability has received in the release of the Aid Effectiveness Review
ADDC congratulates the Review Panel for the consultative process undertaken to ensure multi dimensional input into the review, and the Australian Government’s for its response to recommendations. “This is the first time that enhancing the lives of people with disabilities has been incorporated within the core development objectives of the aid portfolio.”
Implementing disability-inclusive development in the Pacific and Asia
This issue of the Development Bulletin considers progress in the Asia and Pacific Regions in incorporating disability within development-related legislation, strategies, planning and practice. It reviews how, and the extent to which, the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) has been implemented to advance the human rights of those with disability and considers, from a variety of different perspectives, the experience and achievements in disability-inclusive practice. This journal is based largely on the papers and discussion from the second ADDC/ANU international disability conference ‘Implementing disability-inclusive development in the Pacific and Asia’ held in Darwin, September 15-17, 2010, and the two subsequent roundtables on good practice and research.
