Morning Briefing

In this post in the Guardian's "Poverty Matters Blog," Tim Wainwright, CEO of ADD International, writes, "It puzzles me why so much of mainstream development's resources, research, campaigning efforts and attention ignore disabled people," which account for one in seven of the world's population, or one billion people. "My challenge to the mainstream is this: employ representative numbers of disabled people. Make all your offices accessible. Ensure your development work involves and benefits disabled people equally," he writes.
