Development for all: towards a disability-inclusive Australian aid program 2009-2014 (pdf 2.6mb)
This Strategy paper seeks change over time in the way Australia's aid program is delivered, and central to this change will be the focus on people with disability as an inherent part of all aspects of program planning and development.The Strategy aims to improve the quality of life of people with disability through a range of programs and funding mechanisms - including targeted initiatives to meet the specific needs of people with disability, building the leadership skills of people with disability and their organisations, and ensuring major programs in sectors such as education and infrastructure meet the needs and priorities of people with disability.
It will also focus on reducing preventable impairments through support for avoidable blindness and road safety. It will seek to improve our understanding of disability and its links to poverty through strengthened research and data and build AusAID's leadership and advocacy role in promoting disability as a development priority.
