  2. To undertake a situation analysis on ID with respect to research, data and documentation.
  3. To identify gaps in priority areas for further research and documentation.
  4. To move into other areas of disability knowledge at a later date in order to become progressively inclusive.

ACTIVITIES

  2. Carry out research studies focussed on ID with wide collaboration among relevant agencies and with appropriate mentoring from within the network or internationally.
  3. Facilitate knowledge sharing within and beyond the network with conferences, seminars and other joint events.
