The seven sections of the report provide a structured approach to embedding disability inclusion into global research and evidence generation. (From the website). The priority research areas are: 1. Violence prevention and protection from harm: Children with disabilities face heightened risks of abuse, neglect and exploitation. More robust research is needed to inform protection strategies. 2. Social protection and economic inclusion: Families often struggle with the additional expenses of disability. Research must inform policies that support financial security and accessibility. 3. Strengthening OPDs for advocacy: OPDs need greater capacity and resources to amplify the voices of children with disabilities and drive meaningful policy change. 4. Inclusive education: Identifying scalable, cost-effective approaches is critical for improving enrolment, retention and learning outcomes, especially in low-resource settings. 5. Early identification and intervention: Detecting developmental delays and disabilities early ensures that children receive timely support, preventing barriers to education and inclusion.
