IMPACT

The process of effecting change that is long-lasting, structural or systemic to improve the lives of persons with disabilities through the Paralympic Movement.

Following the rapid growth of the Paralympic Games and its 200 plus member organisations, the IPC is well positioned to use Para sport to do more to advance the lives of the world’s 1.3 billion persons with disabilities.

To truly deliver on our vision to make for an inclusive world through Para sport, we want to better articulate and clearly demonstrate the transformational impact we have in advancing social change.

Working within the framework of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, the Sustainable Development Goals and with our approach based on the social model of disability, the IPC Impact Strategy aims to demonstrate how the IPC’s activities and services have a global impact in making for a more inclusive world for persons with disabilities.

By being able to better measure and demonstrate the impact of the IPC’s activities and the legacy of our pinnacle event, the Paralympic Games, we will further support our members and the Para athletes they serve. By partnering with like-minded organisations and institutions, the IPC advocates for and works towards focusing global attention on systemic changes required for disability inclusion.

Find out more about the four focus areas of the IPC Impact Strategy and the transformational work we are delivering around the world to advance our members, athletes, and the lives of persons with disabilities.
