The Global Action on Disability Network is a coordination body of bilateral and multilateral donors and agencies, public and private foundations as well as key coalitions of the disability movement with a common interest in achieving inclusive international development and humanitarian action.

The history of GLAD is a testament of the power of coalition: What seemed impossible for states or donors unilaterally has become possible through collaborative decision making and effective peer learning. 

GLAD's work is guided by its Strategic Plan, which is produced every 3 years to indicate the network's priorities, objectives and how to get there.
