The Disability Dimension in Development
Action
STAKES' experts developed a Manual for Inclusive Planning on how
to include the disability dimension in all development actions. The
manual presents step-by-step advice on how to improve the quality
of development policies, programmes and projects by exercising
sensitivity to the disability dimension at various phases of the
programme or project planning cycle. It includes guidance on how to
design an inclusive policy framework that will gear development
planning towards a 'society for all'. The aim is to enable people
with disabilities to exercise their human rights and
responsibilities.
The manual also contains examples of disability-sensitive
project documentation, checklists and an overall appraisal tool:
the Rapid Handicap Analysis (RHA), which assesses whether a
development activity is 'handicapped', that is, discriminating
against people with disabilities. |
