News from the Disability and Development Conference

• The report from the conference is now available, featuring links to all conference papers and presentations, as well as an overview of the key themes, debates and recommendations emerging from the conference.

• Together delegates created a conference-wide statement calling on governments to consult with people with disabilities to develop new and inclusive frameworks for the post-2015 development agenda. We have also created a multimedia conference blog to share delegates’ conference experiences.

• The conference also launched the Leonard Cheshire Disability and World Bank Disability Database, the world’s first fully searchable online database of government disability projects in developing countries. A comprehensive resource, the database supports collaboration and sharing of good practice by governments and others interested in accessible education, health and rehabilitation, and livelihoods projects.
