We are collecting examples of good practice from around the world for each of our Inclusive Health Systems Framework elements.
-
Good practice examples are identified through consultations (e.g., with organizations of people with disabilities, disability-inclusive health experts, etc.), an open online form, and desk research. Potential good practice examples are included based on the fulfillment of at least one of the following criteria:
People with disabilities participate in the design, implementation, and/or monitoring and evaluation of interventions.
The good practice is based on a human rights perspective (i.e., Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities).
An impact or process evaluation has been conducted.
The good practice is considered to be sustainable (e.g., it is embedded in a government structure or plan).
Relevant information is then extracted on the good practice example, through interview of the implementers or review of official documents, and these are then summarized and peer-reviewed.
