ODA spending on disability inclusion falls short, lacking measurable targets like gender equality.

Conclusion
ODA spending on disability inclusion, as measured by the OECD-DAC markers, falls short of our expectations. Whereas efforts to improve gender equality across the Department’s development programmes are assessed against measurable spending targets, disability inclusion does not receive the same focus.
Government Response Summary
The FCDO's response is a vague commitment to explore further advocacy, policy, and programme work related to de-institutionalisation and children's social care reform globally, without directly addressing the committee's concerns about ODA spending targets and OECD-DAC markers for disability inclusion.
