Our strategy

Represent. Advocate. Change.

IDA’s 2025–2030 Impact Strategy sets out how we will scale up inclusion and create the conditions for better lives for persons with disabilities around the world.

It is built around a clear idea: systems change starts with OPD leadership.IDA connects advocacy, partnerships, knowledge and capacity-sharing for OPDs so disability inclusion becomes a reality.
