IPC and International Disability Alliance to sign co-operation agreement

The historic agreement will see the two like-minded organisations collaborate on a range of initiatives

The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) and the International Disability Alliance (IDA) are to sign a historic Co-operation Agreement to advance the rights of persons with disabilities and jointly commit to use Para sport as a vehicle to drive the human rights agenda forward.

As part of the agreement, the two organisations will work together to develop and implement mutually beneficial strategic inclusive communications campaigns. The two organisations also hope to explore areas of shared interest around strategy, policy development, research and communication.

The two organisations will also seek to foster greater co-operation at their respective Governance levels, for instance in their collaboration at Board and management team levels, primarily for the purpose of advancing the rights of persons with disabilities globally.
