Composed of stakeholders from several continents, the International Disability and Development Consortium (IDDC) supports "inclusive international development and humanitarian action with a special focus on the full and effective enjoyment of human rights by all people with disabilities." Before delving into the website's resources readers should note the icons in the upper-right-hand side of the page adjust viewing formats. For example, clicking on the eye-shaped icon (labeled "Panel") allows users to change the screen color and font size, and the button below links to an easy-to-read version of the site. Those looking for topical materials may enjoy the COVID-19 and Disability Inclusion section, found on the Our Work page. Here, readers will find research, reports, and guidelines for inclusive health and education systems. The Our Work tab also highlights the IDDC's other projects, past and present. These include BRIDGE CRPD-SDGs (a training program for disability rights advocates and organizations) and Bridging the Gap II (a project "support[ing] the development, implementation and monitoring of disability inclusive sector policies and services in a participatory manner,"). Readers can stay up-to-date on the IDDC's latest projects and publications on the Newsroom page, and the Events page highlights interactive opportunities (mostly virtual). The Library page catalogs written materials, and the Category box on the right-hand panel makes it easy to filter by type (e.g. policy brief or toolkit). Looking for a job focused on inclusivity? The Jobs page features a list of opportunities in the IDDC network.
