Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what measures to improve reporting and accountability on the inclusion of disabled people will be part of the strengthened systems that the Department for International Development committed to put in place in the response to the House of Commons International Development Select Committee’s Report <i>Disability and Development </i>(HC Paper 947, 2013–14).

As part of our International Development Committee hearing commitments, DFID is in the process of developing a framework for further strengthening disability inclusion across the department. This will set out our clear commitment, approach and actions to strengthening disability in our policy, programme and international work. It will also include an explanation of how we will strengthen departmental capability on disability, how we will influence our partners to do more, and a timeframe for taking forward the activities outlined in our response to the IDC recommendations.
