Main Event: Leading the Way: Featuring the most impactful Commitments for Disability Inclusion in Development Cooperation

Over the years, many commitments on disability inclusion have been made in the framework of the Global Disability Summits (GDS) commitment mechanism - but what makes a commitment truly impactful? The most effective commitments are those that are actionable, well-resourced, and have a clear plan for implementation.

This session will highlight a range of commitments that have been pledged in the run-up of the GDS 2025 and demonstrate these qualities - examples of real, transformative action from governments, international organizations, organisations of persons with disabilities, and foundations that push for the rights and dignity of persons with disabilities globally. By sharing these examples, we aim to inspire stronger collaboration, scale up efforts, and drive meaningful progress. This is also an opportunity to reflect on achievements, learn from different approaches, and look ahead to ambitious, renewed commitments for GDS 2025.
