Access to decent work
With partners, we will establish and demonstrate effective models of working with the private sector to promote the employment of people with disabilities in the formal sector, and provide training to increase the financial inclusion of people with disabilities in the informal sector.
Timeframe and/or implementation plan
We will achieve this through a 5-year programme of work on scaling up effective models of working on disability inclusive employment.
Reasonable accomodation in the workplace and training institutions
We will strengthen the diversity of Sightsavers as an organisation – aiming to at least double the number of staff with disabilities in the next five years and look to become an ‘employer of choice’ for people with disabilities. We will also ensure over 90% of our staff and trustees worldwide have been trained in disability awareness.
Timeframe and/or implementation plan
We will ensure our recruitment processes are clear and fully accessible and develop a mechanism for increasing the number of applications from people with disabilities. We will establish a global network for staff with disabilities, providing a forum for mutual support and feedback to the organisation, in the next 12 months.
