World Institute on Disability (WID) is a nonprofit research organization based in Berkeley, California. Originating from a 1983 call to action, it pursues global progress in disability inclusion policy and practice by engaging leaders, allies, and innovators to develop practical solutions. Its work focuses on enabling inclusive community living and employment, improving accessibility, and advancing disability-inclusive approaches to emergency preparedness, disaster risk reduction, and climate resilience. As a 501(c)(3) organization, WID operates within the nonprofit sector to conduct research and inform policy. WID serves policymakers, disability-led organizations, and other stakeholders seeking evidence-based approaches to inclusion and resilience. In April 2026, the organization and partners convened a workshop with participants from the Jamaica Council for Persons with Disabilities to develop a Disability-Inclusive Disaster Risk Management Roadmap.
