5 Years of our GDD Program

In the fall of 2017, DSI launched the Global Disability Directory (GDD) program and it has been going strong ever since. Learn about why we started this program and how it works in our launch announcement blog post.

Now, as we celebrate the 5-year mark, we have synthesized some of the indicators of the GDD's growth, maintenance, users, and positive impacts of this program.

A huge THANK YOU to all of the DSI team members, interns, and student and adult volunteers who have contributed to the GDD's growth and maintenance over the past 5 years.

Our current strategic goals include increasing the accessibility of the GDD so we can continue to grow its effectiveness and impact. Your support helps continue to make this program possible!
