Disability rights and inclusion in the new EU Global Health Strategy



Disability rights and inclusion in the new EU Global Health Strategy

EDF and the International Disability and Development Consortium (IDDC) have submitted a joint position paper in response to the European Commission’s call for evidence regarding the new EU Global Health Strategy.

The position paper calls on the EU to:

  • Engage representative organisations of persons with disabilities (DPOs) in health-related policy design, planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation;
  • Ensure that all EU delegations are inclusive of and accessible to all persons with disabilities, and include DPOs in its dialogues with partner countries, including on health.
