IDRC’s commitment to accessibility
IDRC is committed to ensuring that our community can access knowledge and research opportunities in an accessible manner. We are dedicated to ensuring our workplace, programs and communications are as inclusive as possible.
We understand that accessibility is an ongoing process. We know that people with disabilities are the experts in their own experience and in accessibility, so we commit to listening to them to continue improving.
It takes diversity of thought, culture, background and perspective to create a truly global research community. We aspire to a future where research is equitable and inclusive and reflects the diversity of our research community. We commit to a continued focus on equitable hiring, training, research practices and policies.
We strive to be responsive in our approach to inclusion and access. We have proactively planned for a more accessible workspace. This commitment is rooted in our culture, as evidenced by the work done by the Accessibility Working Group to improve our understanding of the Accessible Canada Act and implement its recommendations.
