Disability inclusion briefing

This work was carried out under the Infrastructure and Cities for Economic Development (ICED) facility.

ICED supported DFID country offices, central teams and ODA-spending Other Government Departments to deliver DFID’s Economic Development Strategy by scaling up programming and investment in infrastructure and cities. It operated between February 2016 and July 2019.

This briefing note offers advice on basic approaches to disability inclusion via infrastructure and urban interventions. This guidance includes:

  • The basic requirements of disability inclusion and universal design.
  • The opportunity and scale-up that infrastructure and urban development offers for delivering better development outcomes for people with disabilities.
  • Advice on how to spot opportunities and entry points to integrate Disability Inclusion into new programmes under design or existing programmes in delivery.
  • Illustrative examples of good practice from some of DFID’s key partner countries.
  • Practical advice on engaging with infrastructure and urban sectors no matter your cadre affiliation or background, and how many advisers are already doing so.
