This system-wide evaluation assessed the relevance, effectiveness, efficiency and sustainability of the 2019 United Nations Disability Inclusion Strategy (UNDIS). It covered the period 2019-2025, focusing on the conceptualization and design of UNDIS, alignment with international frameworks, and its operationalization by all United Nations entities and country teams at country, regional and global levels. It was utilisation-focused, participatory, theory based, and drew on multiple data sources including interviews with United Nations staff and external stakeholders, in-depth analysis of 15 United Nations Country Teams, 2 peace missions and 37 entities, extensive document review, and analysis of survey data. The evaluation concludes that the UNDIS has proven to be a relevant and timely instrument for advancing disability inclusion across the United Nations system, serving as a catalyst for systematic change and accelerating efforts to embrace disability inclusion.
