Summary

We will continue to work on urban issues with persons with disabilities living in informal settlements, helping to enable their participation and inclusive citizenship – including through Assistive Technology (AT). The impact will be to bring these voices to the conversation, supporting more inclusive outcomes and cities as a result. This work can be measured by considering the additional participation that has taken place and tracking the inclusive outcomes as a result.
