Additional resources and implementation
IRC will invest in inclusive education to enable all children with and without disabilities to access quality education and learn.

Timeframe and/or implementation plan 
From 2018 to 2021, Sesame Workshop and IRC will develop an inclusive and accessible locally-produced television programme in four countries that will introduce children with and without disabilities to characters and role models who understand their lives and experiences. The television programme will focus on essential early childhood concepts such as language, literacy, numeracy and socioemotional skills and model behaviours supporting respect and inclusion, and will be the basis for inclusive home and pre-school support activities.

Capacity building: teachers and staff
Please enter the exact wording of the commitment/s, including details of others who have supported its development (75 words limit): IRC will support training and capacity building to introduce, deliver and sustain inclusive education and pedagogic practice.

Timeframe and/or implementation plan:
IRC will provide training and coaching to facilitators, instructors and mentors to deliver safe, quality instruction in literacy, numeracy, life and market-relevant employability, ensuring an environment and teaching approach that is responsive to children with disabilities. Trainings will take place in Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, Iraq, Sierra Leone and Pakistan from 2018 to 2021.
