Research and Knowledge Translation

The GPDD works to strengthen understanding about the two-way causality between poverty and disability. It seeks to identify practical methods to overcome discrimination and barriers to the equalization of opportunity and the full participation of women and men with disabilities in economic and social development in developing countries.  The GPDD helps identify research priorities in disability and development, and encourages research by universities and research institutes, especially in developing countries to improve the quality, quantity, and comparability of disability data and evidence-based practices in inclusive development. The GPDD also engaged in knowledge translation activities to ensure that evidence and knowledge gained through scientific research activities can be applied towards the realization of inclusive development in the field.
