Human rights. Grassroots disability leadership. Training and technical assistance.

International Development & Disability (IDD) projects serve as a bridge between the disability community and the international development community to promote the inclusion of people with disabilities as leaders and participants in development.

From Timbuktu, Mali to Lima, Peru, through the islands of Palau to Amman, Jordan and Hue, Vietnam, MIUSA's trainings have changed the paradigm of international development, by framing the inclusion of people with disabilities as a human rights issue. Our extensive international network of grassroots disability-led partner organizations provides a vast resource for non-governmental organization (NGO) consultation, capacity building and partnerships for our colleagues working in international development. MIUSA is an active member of InterAction, the largest coalition of U.S.-based international NGOs focused on the world's poorest and most vulnerable people.
