Member Organisations

Introduction

The initial members of IDDC were agencies who were donor and implementing non-government organisations, including Disabled People's Organisations based in Europe and North America and working in countries of the South. Agencies such as WHO and information exchange organisations attended occasionally as observers. From inception, the majority of agencies who attended the consortium meetings felt that IDDC should remain small and informal, but also efficient and effective.

Membership has so far been decided by the following criteria;
