On this day, the Australian Disability and Development Consortium and a number of other organisations including AFAO, are asking Parliamentarians to speak up for Disability Inclusive Development (DID) and therefore be able to say ‘we DID it’.
ADDC members are also calling upon politicians to increase Australia’s aid budget in the 2013-14 budget; champion disability in the post-Millennium Development Goal framework; and include people with psychosocial disabilities within Australia’s aid program.
- writing to the Foreign Minister and the newly appointed Minister for International Development to commend the proposal of an AusAID Ambassador for Disability-Inclusive Development, and
- sharing your support for including people with disability in Australia’s aid program via social media #weDIDit @ADDCnews
