MAKE DEVELOPMENT INCLUSIVE
How to include the perspectives of persons with disabilities in the project cycle management guidelines of the EC

1. Introduction

This accompanies part I of the manual 'Concepts and Guiding Principles'. It is practical in nature, and is designed to be used during the project management process.

Implementation and monitoringIdentification and formulation

For each phase of the project cycle we present:

  1. What this phase is about
  2. The purpose of including a disability perspective at this phase
  3. The expected results of including a disability perspective
  4. The difficulties often encountered and the keys to success
  5. The possible cost implications of including a disability perspective
    • Case studies which illustrate the inclusion of the perspectives of persons with disabilities
    • Practical tools to assist in including a disability perspective.

These tools are also available in Part III, 'The on-line tool-box'

Four types of web-based tools are presented in the on-line tool-box:

  1. Tools for disability-inclusive project planning and management for general use
  2. Tools for disability-inclusive management based on EC guidelines
  3. Case studies
  4. Tools for including a disability perspective listed according to sector

These tools have been assembled and adapted from the work of many experts in this field. They are intended to be specifically used to accompany the PCM of the EC, but the tools in 1, 2 and 3 can be applied to other development management processes.

The on-line toolbox is a work in progress. We intend to update and adjust it based on user feedback.

This manual is part of the project "Disability mainstreaming in Development Cooperation", supported by DG Employment and Social Affairs of the European Commission. The contents of this manual are the sole responsibility of CBM.
