Brochure with Good Practices on Inclusive Policies
DCDD publishes a new brochure 'Moving up the learning curve - Inclusive development today' which entails good practice from projects working in inclusive development . These examples help to make the inclusive approach more practical and to provide guidance for making development work more inclusive.
Moving up the learning curve – inclusive development today
This brochure examples from projects from the Southern partners of Dutch development NGOs illustrate good practice and show the way DCDD wants to contribute to a better understanding of what are inclusive policies and practices in development co-operation. Inclusive policies and practices integrate and include people with disabilities in all areas of daily life. Six institutional members of DCDD agreed to contact their Southern NGO partners working in the area of disability to provide material for this brochure. In this way we are able to describe practical examples coming from projects which are working towards a more inclusive society; from India, Indonesia, Thailand, Tanzania and Uganda. The information was gathered by asking for specific information through a questionnaire. What is good practice? This brochure attempts to provide some guidance towards finding answers to this question, derived from several manuals and publications in the area of disability and development. The main value of this brochure lies in the examples given, which hopefully will inspire the reader to make practical solutions themselves which are more inclusive.
Brochure contents
In an attempt to describe what the indicators of good practice are which contribute to a more inclusive society, the brochure opens with a theoretical argument (What is good practice when promoting inclusion?). Subsequently good practice examples from the different projects are reviewed, first giving a short description of the project (Examples of good practice). At the end of the brochure, you will find information about the DCDD institutional members who contributed to this brochure (Description of DCDD members).
