More about the contribution
The International Disability Alliance (IDA) is a global alliance of organizations of persons with disabilities, representing the voice of the estimated one billion persons with disabilities worldwide. The overall goal of IDA is to develop and strengthen its work to promote the implementation of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) through the enabling of political dialogue, the creation of cooperation and capacity development at national, regional and global levels. IDAs strategic plan for 2020-2023 has six objectives with the following corresponding goals: 1) Influencing UN human rights standards and processes. This entails that OPDs are able to utilise and engage in human rights monitoring mechanisms and processes to hold their governments accountable for effective CRPD implementation. 2) Influencing sustainable development and humanitarian action frameworks. This entails that the priorities of PwD are included in the review of the SDGs and that increased evidence on this progress is available, in addition to ensuring that the needs and priorities of PwD's are addressed and included in humanitarian responses. 3) Influencing international cooperation stakeholders. This entails that relevant stakeholders have increased their political will, technical capacity and resourcing towards disability inclusive development, in addition to IDA and its constituencies having continued engagement and influence over relevant Agenda 2030 processes and mechanisms. 4) Promoting the rights of underrepresented groups of persons with disabilities. This entails continued diversity of PwD represented in the governance and work of IDA, including underrepresented groups e.g. psychosocial disabilities and persons with deafblindness, in addition to increased representation, leadership and advocacy of women and indigenous persons with disabilities. 5) Building technical capacities of disability activists that form the diversity of the disability rights movement. This entails the continuation and scaling up of the Bridge CRPD-SDG training initiative as a cornerstone of a wider capacity development strategy and investment in the technical and advocacy capacity, as well as diversity of the movement. Additionally, IDA will work towards developing advanced training resources to support OPDs and PwDs in their advocacy towards governments, UN actors, donors and other relevant stakeholders. 6) Growing the collective capacity of the disability rights movement. This focuses on the importance of expanding the movement with a bottom-up approach, in addition to strengthening the range and diversity of PwD that IDA represents. The total budget for the four-year period is around 450 MSEK. Sidas contribution for this period amounts to 44 MSEK.

Result
First and foremost, it is critical to note that IDA has despite the ongoing significant reforms following the findings of the KPMG and EY reviews, both finalized in 2024 been able to deliver commendable programmatic work. It should be noted that the KPMG review was launched in November 2023 thus, towards the end of the implementation year in question. In its annual report for 2023, IDA presents results according to the six pillars of its strategic framework. IDA underscores that they have made substantial progress in promoting and protecting the rights of persons with disabilities throughout 2023, which Sida does not contest in any manner. IDA also makes a point of conveying that they have enhanced the effectiveness of the UN human rights system, integrating disability considerations into sustainable development and humanitarian frameworks, fostering international cooperation, and strengthening the capacity of underrepresented groups. None of the aforementioned is questioned by Sida. Throughout IDAs six strategic pillars, IDA informs that it has engaged diverse stakeholders and expanded its influence within and beyond the disability movement, thus reinforcing the collective response capacity of the disability rights movement. A top priority will, IDA informs, continue to be the promotion of the rights of underrepresented groups of persons with disabilities. Key 2023 highlights include, as reflected in IDAs 2023 annual report: -IDA provided technical or financial support to over 100 organizations of persons with disabilities (OPDs) to actively participate in the work of the CRPD Committee and other treaty bodies. -IDA published reports on the Status on implementation of UN Security Council resolution 2475 and recommendations for the future (September 2023) and The situation of persons with disabilities in the context of the war of aggression by Russia against Ukraine (March 2023) to advance accountability for the rights of persons with disabilities in the context of armed conflict through UN resolutions. -IDA contributed significantly to a new resolution on mental health in the General Assembly, building on progress in the Human Rights Council in 2023 on the same topic, that now reflect CRPD standards and include the priorities of persons with psychosocial disabilities and OPDs. -IDA supported women with disabilities from Africa to present their intersectional perspectives to the UN Human Rights Council. -In a historic moment, OPDs had direct engagement with the mainstream education movement at the Education Cannot Wait (ECW) High-Level Financing Conference. This engagement follows IDAs strategic collaboration with ECW and their recent announcement of support to IDA and Inclusion International to bridge the gap between OPDs and humanitarian actors in Niger and Colombia. -With support from IDA, youth with disabilities successfully advocated for the inclusion of the rights of children with disabilities in the drafting of General Comment No. 26 on childrens rights and the environment with a special focus on climate change. -IDA held a successful Training of Trainers (ToT) Module held during the 28th Session of the CRPD Committee and the 52nd Session of the Human Rights Council.
The overall objective and long term goal of the International Disability Alliance (IDA) is to ensure that "the rights of persons with disabilities are advanced by Member States, the UN and international cooperation stakeholders across human rights, development, peace and security agendas, in partnership with and through meaningful engagement of Organizations of Persons with Disabilities technically equipped to frame, deliver and monitor policies and programs that affect their lives." The purpose of IDAs work is to ensure that Capacities and commitments of Member States, the UN and international cooperation stakeholders are strengthened, and their investment in and meaningful engagement with Organizations of Persons with Disabilities (OPDs) is increased, resulting in higher OPDs capacities to represent the diversity of persons with disabilities, to technically advise as well as hold all stakeholders accountable on the realization of the rights of persons with disabilities.
