摘要:People with intellectual disabilities face a significantly higher risk of poverty and social exclusion than other groups
of the population in developing countries. The international community often fails to take this fact on board in the
design of development policies and projects. The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, ratified
by the European Union in December 2010, calls for international development cooperation to be inclusive of all
people with disabilities. Along these lines, the project Full Inclusion in Development Aid for People with Intellectual
Disabilities aims to mobilise local intellectual disability NGOs in the European Union and encourage them to get
involved in development cooperation projects around the globe
