This webinar is part of a series of learning sessions on disability inclusion called 'Power of Disability Inclusion', organized by DCDD as part of the We Are Able! programme, funded by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs. During the series, we share tools for disability inclusive programming, facilitate in-country connections and foster the exchange of experiences in inclusive advocacy. The tailored learning agenda is based on insights from all participants.

FOR WHO? For Civil Society organisations that receive funding from the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Participants from the DCDD network are also invited to join. 

WHY? An important part of strengthening civil society is making space for and amplifying the voices of persons with disabilities to be heard in society as well as in the design of development programmes. In collaboration with the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, we provide a platform for CSO partners to convene, exchange ideas and experiences and explore the most effective ways to make disability inclusion happen.
