Description

The Disability Inclusion Helpdesk provides research and advice to DFID and other UK government departments on disability inclusion in policy, programming, and across DFID’s five minimum standards on disability inclusion. We are a team of experienced in-house helpdesk researchers working alongside over 60 senior disability inclusion experts with experience across different themes, sectors and geographies. We can advise on disability inclusion in development, FCAS and humanitarian settings. We take a rights-based approach to disability inclusion and apply a gender and intersectionality lens in everything we do. The Helpdesk will support DFID to implement its new Strategy for Disability Inclusive Development 2018-2023 and the scale-up of disability mainstreaming across the department.
