DISABILITY INCLUSIVE DEVELOPMENT
Disability-inclusive development is a growing area of study and practice and is a vital part of FNG’s work. The adoption of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disability and its obligations for inclusive and accessible environment creates an opportunity to deepen knowledge about issues facing persons with disabilities and respond confidently to these issues from a perspective that recognises persons with disabilities as right holders.
Disability-inclusive development (DID) is where all stages of development processes are inclusive of and accessible to persons with disability.
It requires that all persons be afforded equal access to education, healthcare services, work & employment, and social protection, among others.
