United Kingdom Secretary of State for International Development Penny Mordaunt will make two announcements on disability and inclusion on Wednesday, as the issue emerges as a priority of her leadership agenda.

She will also reveal more details around the U.K. government’s first World Disability Summit, to be hosted in London’s Olympic Park on July 24. The event will emphasize the need to collect more data around disability, with commitments expected from both the public and private sector, including the World Bank.

The secretary of state will detail how data, technology, and collaboration are vital in making sure that people with disabilities are consistently included in, and benefit from, the opportunities that are available to other members of society.

In developing countries, unemployment rates for people with disabilities are on average 80 percent or higher. Of those who need assistive devices such as prosthetic limbs, between 5 and 15 percent have access to them, according to figures from Handicap International.

Alongside representatives from the organization, Mordaunt will announce the launch of the first mobile phone and web app designed to help people with disabilities better access employment opportunities, as well as provide a platform for employers in developing countries to share data to make sure workplaces are accessible for disabled employees.
