Disability, inclusion and development
Millennium Development Goals and Disability
The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) were drawn from targets set by the Millennium Declaration, adopted by 189 nations in September 2000. The eight goals, to be achieved by 2015, are aimed at combating all aspects of global poverty and social exclusion and include specific indicators for measuring progress. However, a key failure of the MDGs has been the exclusion of disability issues and disabled people in the process. Ten percent of the global population is disabled (WHO) and yet not one of the MDG indicators addresses the rights and needs of disabled people. The impact of this exclusion is considerable: - Only one to two percent of disabled children in developing countries go to school (UNESCO) - Eighty two percent of disabled people live below the poverty line (World Bank) The MDGs will not be achieved unless the rights of disabled people are comprehensively mainstreamed in all development action – with disabled people involved in decision-making at all levels. This key list draws together policy documents, tools for implementation, resource manuals and websites to make an explicit connection between disability issues and each of the eight MDGs. It was compiled in partnership with IncludeEverybody.org an initiative of IDDC and the Millennium Campaign We welcome your suggestions: please send comments or suggested additions to source@ich.ucl.ac.uk
