<p>This Government is committed to supporting a long-term movement for change on the
neglected global issue of disability inclusion. The Government remains steadfast in
its commitment to this agenda.</p><p>The Integrated Review of Security, Defence, Development
and Foreign Policy is expected to conclude later in the year, which will define the
Government’s ambition for the UK’s role in the world and its outcomes will shape the
objectives of the FCDO. Both the review and the merger are evidence of the Prime Minister’s
commitment to a unified British foreign and development policy that will maximise
our influence around the world, including on disability and gender equality.</p><p>As
part of the merger discussions, we will review, refresh and build on all existing
strategies, as well as developing new approaches where appropriate. We do not see
the core ambitions of DFID’s Disability Inclusion strategy changing. The advancement
of the inclusion of people with disabilities is as important now as when we published
the strategy in 2018.</p>
