Disaster Preparedness: Disability Inclusion. January 2019

Q&A: A 'twin-track' approach to disability-inclusive disaster preparedness Sightsavers' policy chief Fred Smith recently helped DFID design its first disability inclusion strategy —  a promising step forward, but a lot more needs to be done to implement inclusive disaster risk reduction, he tells Devex.

Top employers working on disability inclusivity Development organizations play an active part in promoting inclusivity, influencing policy, and providing assistance to people with disabilities. We round up the top employers working on disability rights and issues in the sector.

SPECIAL NOTICE

Around 80 percent live in low- and middle-income economies, making it a cross-cutting issue closely intertwined with poverty and inequality. Development Enabled is our latest digital content series, exploring a disability-inclusive world and the daily challenges faced by people with disabilities. How can we ensure disability inclusion is at the core of development discourse and practice? By looking at solutions to address difficulties and combat the exclusion of people with disabilities. Join us in a global conversation beyond the health implications. How can people with disabilities take the lead on disability inclusion efforts? And how can we co-create inclusive societies where people with disabilities have equal access to education, health, and work? Read more here.
