InterAction established the Disability Inclusion Award in collaboration with Mobility International USA (MIUSA) in 2009 in honor of the U.N. Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities (UNCRPD). This award recognizes organizations within the sector that have worked toward greater disability inclusion by taking exceptional, proactive, and innovative measures to integrate and mainstream people with disability into their general programs, activities, and operations. Recipients of the awards demonstrate a commitment to ensure the full inclusion of people with disability and approach disability as an essential cross-cutting issue, which uses a human rights lens throughout all aspects of their organization’s work.
