“Aid effectiveness principles necessary for disability inclusive development” (Busan)

USAID and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Finland are pleased to announce the  first ever side session on disability inclusive development which will take place at the Fourth High-Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness in Busan, South Korea from 29 November to 1 December 2011.

Disability was mentioned in the Accra Agenda for Action. It is hoped that the Busan outcomes document and this side event will further entrench disability inclusive development as integral to aid effectiveness, raise awareness around the issue and generate support for its inclusion as part of overall development cooperation.

The Fourth High-Level Forum will be attended by approximately 2000 delegates who will review global progress in improving the impact and value for money of development aid and make new commitments to further ensure that aid helps reduce poverty and supports progress in meeting the Millennium Development Goals.

Please see attached the program for the side session.
