Supporting coordination of disability inclusion in humanitarian action

This work stream aims to provide a global platform to support mechanisms in place at country level to coordinate disability inclusion in humanitarian action. These mechanisms often take the form of working groups bringing together local OPDs, NGOs and UN entities to work together on strengthening disability inclusion in the response.

Objectives

Coordination

Provide a platform for information sharing and learning exchanges, enabling effective coordination of disability inclusion in humanitarian responses.

Information

Facilitate the sharing of successful practices and strategies, promoting a broader understanding of what works in disability-inclusive humanitarian efforts.

Exchange

Encourage open dialogue and interaction among DRG members, fostering an environment where successful strategies and insights can be shared and applied.

Share with us your views on how the DRG can best act as a platform to support coordination of disability inclusion in humanitarian response.
