Disability Inclusive Development Programme (DID)

Descriptions

A lack of attention and funding has contributed to a severely limited evidence base on what works to deliver inclusion in international development for approximately 1 000 000 000 people with disabilities. The Disability Inclusive Development (DID) programme is a brand new innovation and evidence programme which will deliver a set of interventions to support people with disabilities in a number of developing countries. The programme will deliver tangible outcomes for people with disabilities including access to education, jobs, healthcare and reduced stigma and discrimination, and encourage global actors to prioritise the issue. The programme will test innovative approaches to disability inclusion and generate high quality research to fill gaps and discover what works in this under-resourced area. Interventions that work will be scaled up, widening their reach, and new learning and evidence shared across the global development community and national governments.
