Capacity building: teachers and staff
We will provide development support to a range of different stakeholders to help them meet the various needs of children with disabilities (from early childhood onwards). We will make sure the support is contextually appropriate and that primary care givers are included in the process.
Timeframe and/or implementation plan
This will be achieved through close collaboration with various partners (including DPOs). We will work with local stakeholders and use various sources of evidence to identify appropriate approaches within the relevant community structures. Over the next two years we will pilot the various approaches and then collect evidence to enable us to assess the effectiveness of different approaches and then disseminate this learning widely through a diverse set of learning materials.
Policy, standards and regulations
Through the provision of technical assistance to a range of stakeholders, and by influencing the development of inclusive education policies and standards, we will contribute to the provision of quality education that meet the needs of children with disabilities (from early childhood onwards).
Timeframe and/or implementation plan
We will work with local stakeholders (including DPOs) to identify and pilot approaches to inclusive education which work within existing community structures and are based on evidence. We will collect and share evidence to support assessment of the effectiveness of approaches. We will scale up our work in this area over the next three years.
