Strengthening Disability-Inclusive Development

This road map will guide the Asian Development Bank (ADB) in strengthening its approach to disability-inclusive development. The publication sets out a practical route to greater disability inclusion in ADB projects, research, and organizational systems, focusing first on short- and medium-term actions. Its aims include supporting the active participation and empowerment of people with disabilities and increasing the capacity and knowledge of ADB staff. These activities will create the foundation for a more comprehensive and integrated approach to disability-inclusive development at ADB in the longer term and will support implementation of the bank's corporate Strategy 2030 across operational priorities.
