“Inclusion Counts. The Economic Case for Disability Inclusive Development"

The event will present the second book of CBM series on disability-inclusive development (DID) “Inclusion Counts. The Economic Case for Disability Inclusive Development". The publication highlights the economic implications of disability-inclusive policies and speaks to a broad audience, including governments and policy makers. The event will raise awareness among EU decision-makers and other stakeholders on the advantages of disability-inclusion; it also aims to create an opportunity to broaden and strengthen the dialogue between them and representatives from persons with disabilities organisations (DPOs) worldwide.

The event is part of a week-long event dedicated to the issue of disability in celebration of the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, organized by the International Disability and Development Consortium (IDDC), via its EU Task Group and its partners.
