About Australian Disability and Development Consortium
Who we are:
The Australian Disability and Development Consortium (ADDC) is an Australian based network advocating for people with disabilities to be included across all international development work.
Mission and Vision:
We promote the rights and inclusion of people with disabilities in international development activities, and advocate for full integration of disability inclusion into all Australian development programs and policies.
History:
ADDC emerged from the Australian Council of International Development (ACFID) Disabilities and Development Working Group, in 2000. There was a need for cohesive efforts on disability-inclusion in international development work.
The most effective way to carry out advocacy and capacity building is through a national network of agencies working on disability issues in developing countries: thus, ADDC officially launched in 2007.
Wins:
- Representation on the Australian aid program’s Disability Inclusive
Reference Group.
- Parliamentary functions, including launch of the World Report on Disability
and photo exhibition.
- Represented at Pacific Forum Disability Ministers meetings.
