Annual Report 2015

A huge step forward was made in 2015 as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were agreed at the UN. These included people with disabilities both as part of the overall theme of ‘leave no one behind’, and explicitly within a number of the individual goals. This compares with the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) which ended last year and which made no reference to people with disabilities. The SDGs also include goals such as universal health coverage and the elimination of NTDs – both of which are central to our mission.
