Our Work

DPI works on human rights, advocacy, disability-inclusive development and the leadership of organisations of persons with disabilities.

DPI’s work is organised around a few connected priorities. They share one method: persons with disabilities, through their own organisations, taking part directly in the decisions that affect their lives.

  • Human Rights — the CRPD as the foundation for law, policy and practice.
  • Advocacy — representing persons with disabilities in UN and regional processes.
  • Programmes — leadership training and strengthening organisations of persons with disabilities.
  • Disability & Development — inclusion in the SDGs and in development cooperation.
  • The CRPD — ratification, implementation and monitoring.
