Key research priorities that address urgent evidence gaps;
Six core implementation pillars to strengthen disability research and uptake;
A strategy to translate research findings into real-world policy and investment decisions.
The seven sections of the report provide a structured approach to embedding disability inclusion into global research and evidence generation. (From the website).
The priority research areas are:
1. Violence prevention and protection from harm: Children with
disabilities face heightened risks of abuse, neglect and exploitation. More robust research is needed to inform protection strategies.
2. Social protection and economic inclusion: Families often
struggle with the additional expenses of disability. Research must inform policies that support financial security and accessibility.
3. Strengthening OPDs for advocacy: OPDs need greater capacity and resources to amplify the voices of children with disabilities and drive meaningful policy change.
4. Inclusive education: Identifying scalable, cost-effective
approaches is critical for improving enrolment, retention and
learning outcomes, especially in low-resource settings.
5. Early identification and intervention: Detecting developmental delays and disabilities early ensures that children receive timely support, preventing barriers to education and inclusion.
