Description:

Disability is very much part of the human experience, with an estimated 16% of the world’s population experiencing significant disability. Despite this, people with disabilities often remain excluded or underrepresented in development programmes and research.


In this new episode of the IDS Between the Lines podcast, researchers - whose articles have been published in the recent IDS BulletinBuilding disability inclusive futures’ - shed fresh light on the urgent need for disability‑inclusive development.


The episode features journalist and broadcaster Paul Carter who interviews Amber Salelkar, Senior Manager, Programmes and Impact, International Disability Alliance, Dom Haslam, Deputy CEO, Sightsavers and Stephen Thompson, Research Fellow, IDS. 


Contributors in this podcast hope the IDS Bulletin will serve as both a record of learning and a call to action.
