In New York, the Global Autism Advocacy Coalition, founded by Qatar Foundation, Autism Speaks, and UNICEF with additional support from the World Health Organization, has returned to the international stage one year after its launch at the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly. The founding members have now expanded to include the Education Above All Foundation, the Bulat Utemuratov Foundation, Autism Impact Fund, as well as the Ministries of Social Development and Family (MSDF) and Public Health (MoPH) in Qatar.
These ministries are spearheading the coalition's agenda in Qatar, with MSDF ensuring support structures are in place for families, and MoPH enhancing its capacity to connect global advocacy with the country's healthcare systems.
