What is the GPDD?

The Global Partnership for Disability and Development (GPDD) is a global initiative to strengthen international cooperation to accelerate the integration of disability issues and considerations into mainstream social and economic development efforts.

GPDD is an unprecedented alliance of Disabled People's Organizations (DPOs), government ministries, bilateral and multilateral donors, United Nations (UN) agencies, Non-governmental organizations (NGOs), national and international development organizations, and other organizations, committed to promoting economic and social inclusion of people with disabilities in low-income countries.
