Disabled People and Development

Abstract

This document aims to provide a consolidated set of guidelines to identify and address the issues affecting people with disabilities in poverty reduction strategies. These will assist people in the identification, design, preparation, and implementation of projects. The main contribution of this document is that it provides the information and analytical tools for identifying the extent to which disability is a development issue; and for analyzing, identifying, and addressing the needs of people with disabilities within development. The tools include a disability checklist, consisting of a set of key questions for investigation; suggestions for including disability in programming; resources agencies and literature to access for more knowledge on disability issues; strategies for implementation; and case studies.
