Global Taskforce

About Global Taskforce

The Taskforce brings together global organisations committed to improving disability inclusion, wherever they are in the world. It provides a forum for networking with like-minded global organisations and sharing challenges and successes in developing a global approach to disability inclusion.

Our new Global Assessment Tool allows international organisations to assess their performance in disability inclusion across the regions they operate. It includes an assessment for global headquarters and up to 8 countries or regional leads. Free taster assessment is available now and open-to-all. Find out more

Taskforce members are also invited to join steering groups to help develop practical tools, resources and disability-smart practices across global operations. 

By joining the Global Taskforce, you get exclusive access to:

• Our Global Framework, to help you measure and improve your global approach to disability inclusion.
