2010 Gender, Disability and Development Institute (GDDI)
GDDI brings together development professionals and 30 disabled women leaders from Africa, Asia and the Pacific, Eurasia, Latin America and the Middle East. The Institute goes beyond rhetoric and workshops to engage individuals in direct dialogue about strategies for including women with disabilities in development projects throughout the world.
Please note: This is an invitation only event.
About the Institute:
A typical day at GDDI includes family style meals together, morning workshops, afternoon work groups and consultations, and evening social time for cultural exchange.

- Inclusive project development
- Economic empowerment
- Gender-based violence
- HIV/AIDS
- Health
- Geographic and other sector-based discussions
