IDA (2020-2023) (2024) International Disability Alliance IDA (2020-2023) - IDA (2020-2023) The International Disability Alliance (IDA) is a global alliance of organizations of persons with disabilities, representing the voice of the estimated one billion persons with disabilities worldwide. The overall goal of IDA is to develop and strengthen its work to promote the implementation of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) through the enabling of political dialogue, the creation of cooperation and capacity development at national, regional and global levels.

IDAs strategic plan for 2020-2023 has six objectives with the following corresponding goals: 
1) Influencing UN human rights standards and processes. This entails that OPDs are able to utilise and engage in human rights monitoring mechanisms and processes to hold their governments accountable for effective CRPD implementation.
2) Influencing sustainable development and humanitarian action frameworks. This entails that the priorities of PwD are included in the review of the SDGs and that increased evidence on this progress is available, in addition to ensuring that the needs and priorities of PwD's are addressed and included in humanitarian responses.
3) Influencing international cooperation stakeholders. This entails that relevant stakeholders have increased their political will, technical capacity and resourcing towards disability inclusive development, in addition to IDA and its constituencies having continued engagement and influence over relevant Agenda 2030 processes and mechanisms.
4) Promoting the rights of underrepresented groups of persons with disabilities. This entails continued diversity of PwD represented in the governance and work of IDA, including underrepresented groups e.g. psychosocial disabilities and persons with deafblindness, in addition to increased representation, leadership and advocacy of women and indigenous persons with disabilities.
5) Building technical capacities of disability activists that form the diversity of the disability rights movement. This entails the continuation and scaling up of the Bridge CRPD-SDG training initiative as a cornerstone of a wider capacity development strategy and investment in the technical and advocacy capacity, as well as diversity of the movement. Additionally, IDA will work towards developing advanced training resources to support OPDs and PwDs in their advocacy towards governments, UN actors, donors and other relevant stakeholders.
6) Growing the collective capacity of the disability rights movement. This focuses on the importance of expanding the movement with a bottom-up approach, in addition to strengthening the range and diversity of PwD that IDA represents.

The total budget for the four-year period is around 450 MSEK. Sidas contribution for this period amounts to 44 MSEK. Insatsen avser ett kärnstöd till organisationen International Disability Alliance (IDA) om totalt 44 MSEK under en fyraårsperiod 2020-2023. IDA är en global allians av organisationer av personer med funktionsnedsättning (OPDs) som uppskattningsvis representerar en miljard människor världen över som lever med funktionsnedsättning. IDAs övergripande mål är att arbeta för att skydda och främja mänskliga rättigheter för personer med funktionsnedsättning (PwD) samt stärka genomförandet av konventionen om rättigheter för personer med funktionsnedsättning (CRPD). 

För 2020-2023 har IDA utvecklat sin strategi med fokus på sex områden med följande mål:
1) Påverka FNs processer för mänskliga rättigheter samt ansvarstagare för effektiv implementering av CRPD.
2) Påverka hållbarhetsagendan och det humanitära arbetet för att inkludera behov och prioriteringar av PwD. 
3) Påverka internationellt utvecklingssamarbete för att öka kapacitet och resurser för rättigheter för PwD. 
4) Främja rättigheter för underrepresenterade grupper av PwD. 
5) Bygga kapacitet för aktivister med funktionsnedsättning och OPDs för att stärka mångfalden inom den globala rörelsen för PwD. 
6) Öka den kollektiva kapaciteten av den globala rörelsen för PwD.

Total budget för perioden är cirka 450 MSEK. Sidas stöd uppgår till 44 MSEK. The overall objective and long term goal of the International Disability Alliance (IDA) is to ensure that "the rights of persons with disabilities are advanced by Member States, the UN and international cooperation stakeholders across human rights, development, peace and security agendas, in partnership with and through meaningful engagement of Organizations of Persons with Disabilities technically equipped to frame, deliver and monitor policies and programs that affect their lives."

The purpose of IDAs work is to ensure that Capacities and commitments of Member States, the UN and international cooperation stakeholders are strengthened, and their investment in and meaningful engagement with Organizations of Persons with Disabilities (OPDs) is increased, resulting in higher OPDs capacities to represent the diversity of persons with disabilities, to technically advise as well as hold all stakeholders accountable on the realization of the rights of persons with disabilities.
