As the world's largest contributor of development aid, the EU has a significant role to play in discussions on future strategies for achieving the MDGs. Key stakeholders from both the EU and the Global South will discuss the role that disability plays in poverty, and ensure that in the lead up to the UN Millennium Development Goals Summit in New York in September 2010, there will be an emphasis on making the MDGs inclusive.

Speakers currently include Alf Svensson MEP, Madhizhagan Mohan (Inclusive Development Officer at CBM South Asia), and Imtiaz Mohammed (Head of International Programmes, Leonard Cheshire Disability), with more to be announced soon.
