https://www.globaldisabilitysummit.org/resource/amman-berlin-declaration/
"The 'Amman-Berlin Declaration on Global Disability Inclusion' is one of the most significant outcomes of the GDS 2025. The Declaration marks an important milestone for advancing the rights of persons with disabilities worldwide." During the summit, more than 90 declarations of support were already made by governments and international organizations.
"Among the Declaration’s commitments to disability inclusion are two specific targets for international development cooperation. According to these, actors endorsing the declaration will
* strive for all their international development programs to be inclusive of and accessible to persons with disabilities (...)
* strive to ensure that at least 15 percent of international development programs (...) pursue disability inclusion as an objective
With the '15 percent for the 15 percent' target, the Amman-Berlin-Declaration seeks to establish, for the first time, a quantifiable target for disability inclusion at a global scale. The goal is to achieve this target until the 4th Global Disability Summit (GDS) in 2028." [Abstract: Information provided by the editors of the site]
