One of the most effective way businesses can improve their disability inclusion practices is by partnering with other companies and non-business entities. At the same time, the ILO Global Business and Disability Network (GBDN) itself collaborates with relevant initiatives toto promote the inclusion of persons with disabilities in the world of work. Speakers will address collaboration on disability inclusion from their respective perspectives as multilateral and bilateral development partners as well as private, not-for profit global initiatives. The ILO Director-General will deliver closing remarks for the conference, after the partnership session.
