Everything you need to know for making impactful Commitments at the GDS – that lead to lasting and meaningful change for persons with disabilities globally.

The GDS Secretariat encourages stakeholders to develop joint and ambitious commitments in partnership with other stakeholders, in particular OPDs, which reflect national or institutional ownership. A selection of the most impactful commitments will be featured on the stage during GDS 2025 in Berlin.

  • To be considered for presentation, submit your commitment by the end of February 2025.
  • The final deadline for all other commitments is the end of March 2025.
  • After the Summit there will still be the opportunity for stakeholders to submit additional commitments or to cooperate/join existing commitments.
