The third Global Disability Summit will be held in April 2025, hosted by the International Disability Alliance (IDA) and the Governments of Jordan and Germany. In the lead-up to this important event, the Disability Reference Group (DRG) , calls on governments, multilateral agencies and civil society to make concrete commitments for advancing the rights of all children and adults with disabilities impacted by humanitarian emergencies, who are too often forgotten and left behind.

We call on all partners to ensure that over 48 million children and adults with disabilities in humanitarian crises are not left behind as commitments are made to promote the rights of persons with disabilities worldwide. For this, we need to break the silos that challenge the power of our collaboration. All stakeholders, including humanitarian actors, states, the private sector, donors, OPDs, and others working to promote inclusion of persons with disabilities need to join efforts to scale up investment in responding to the needs of persons with disabilities affected by humanitarian emergencies.
