Make Sure Your Programs Actually Include Persons With Disabilities
Persons with disabilities are consistently among the most excluded from development programs — not usually by design, but because disability inclusion is rarely built into program planning from the start.
This five-day workshop equips program staff with practical tools for mainstreaming disability inclusivity across the project cycle — from design and accessibility to monitoring — so programs genuinely reach and serve persons with disabilities.
