• People with disabilities are often excluded in poverty-reduction or development projects, as evidenced by the Millennium Development Goals’ failure to include disability in its strategies. (see: www.includeeverybody.org)
• There are high economic costs of excluding people with disabilities on the development agenda and the productive cycle, and it is estimated that the global annual GDP loss due to exclusion of disabled people from the labor market is between US$1.37 and 1.94 trillion. (Metts, 2000)

• There are new opportunities for reconstructing infrastructure that lends itself to improved inclusivity
• Enhanced coordination with stronger linkages between emergency and development aid, can ensure sustainable financing. Utilizing this opportunity for creation of a “new” and more inclusive society is key to sustainable development.

• Understand that people with disabilities are a highly heterogeneous group with different needs, capacities, and barriers.
• Begin social analysis of disability concerns during the project design stage.
• Define disability and use the context-appropriate terms.
– Disability issues include sensitive terminology – appropriate, culturally relevant terminology is important to building working relationships with stakeholders and beneficiaries.

• Utilize the twin-track approach to projects, with – disability-specific projects that aim to
increase the empowerment and
participation of people with disabilities;
– disability-inclusive projects that aim to
ensure that all reconstruction and
development includes and is accessible
to all persons with disabilities.
• Collect data through the monitoring system to give evidence about the impact/outcomes in your project on people with disabilities.

project implementation & monitoring?
10
• Gather input from persons with disabilities to evaluate whether the project outcome had any impact for them.
• Evaluate the project budget for inclusivity of disability.• If disability has not been included in the original project,
during the evaluation phase attempt to evaluate the effects of not including disability in the project.
• Use the evaluation process to generate ideas for future disability-specific or disability-inclusive projects.

• Evaluate the current level of inclusivity with your organization and its programs, then take action to work on the areas identified as less inclusive.
•Visit: http://www.usaid.gov/about_usaid/disability/disinclusion_checklist.pdf and fill out MIUSA’s checklist for inclusion, and follow its recommendations for further action.

Ensure that from the outset, your project budget includes the consideration of any costs associated with inclusion.
• See the Make Development Inclusive Toolbox, p. 186 for help on “budgeting the inclusion of a disability perspective” in your projects
Include disability in your monitoring and evaluation of programmes.
• See the Make Development Inclusive Toolbox, p. 193 for tips on how to include disability in the M & E process.
