Disability inclusion should not be on the fringes, but on the forefront of people's thinking on the subject. Norway is working on a strategy for disability inclusion to make Norway's efforts more strategic and aim to finish before the country hosts the Global Disability Summit in 2022, says Bård Vegar Solhjell, Director General of the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (Norad).

@judithheumann -- The very fact that organizations are being established in low and middle-income countries and people are speaking up and out even in dangerous situations -- that is a message that the disability community around the world needs to see.

@judithheumann-- What do we see as good laws? What are the requirements to encourage countries to develop inclusive education, transportation and employment legislations? It is important to make sure that this is not just an issue for disabled people  -- and get it to be a central part of the overall agenda.
